Every time we go to Collierville we visit the town square. There is a historic cabin you can peek inside for free. A good variety of restaurants, a beautiful central park to sit in the shade, a few stores for shopping and farther off the square, many historical buildings and interesting architecture.
Very quaint, clean downtown square, kept up well with several activities, I enjoyed antique shops and also has a new outside mall near with all upscale shops.
Love to sit here with a cup of coffee and just take in the beautiful scenery. Great shopping and some nice restaurant choices.
quaint little town hidden in the great metropolis of Memphis. Tons of great eateries, nice parks, cute town square.
Anyone in the area who misses this beautifully restored town square has deprived themselves of a treat. On one side of the square is the old train depot and tracks that are still in use. The other three sides contain commercial activity including unique restaurants and stores. A park is in the middle whit a large gazebo. The square is beautifully maintained and decorated for activities - especially for Christmas which I think is the best time to visit. It is also the location of a minor Civil War battle when it was the focus of a Confederate attack attempting to cut the Memphis-Charleston railroad which was supplying Sherman's relief of Chattanooga at the time.
The Collierville Historic District is a great example of what happens when local folks decide to display their pride in their heritage by rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. The town square is what you envision when you think of a Norman Rockwell print. Surrounded by small independently owned stores and restaurants that each offer unique goods with a personal touch. Friday nights are filled with the sounds of music as people just show up and play whatever instrument they have in the park. Holidays are treated as special occasions, it is a big part of our Christmas celebrations. The people are nice and the history is evident. From the trains to the exhibit detailing the Civil War Battle of Collierville it is very interesting, clean and just down home fun.
This town square was rated as the number one town square in the country by Parade Magazine. I don't know if it is the best in the country, I have not visited that many. However, it is worth a visit. There is a very nice park in the middle, surrounded by some fun shops and eating establishments. Historical markers in the park detail some of the history of the area.
I loved walking around this town and it's cute town square. It is full of history, and the people of the town, particularly the businesses, seem proud of it. There's a cool mural, train cars to walk around and through, and friendly folks at the visitor center. Take a look around!
We visited Collierville over Christmas. The square was beautifully decorated for the season. We visited during the day and night. The main tree was so beautiful! The shops we visited were quaint and not "touristy" at all like some town squares. The historical markers were very informative for the history buffs of the family. I hope to spend more time in the square when we come back for a visit.
Interesting shops and eateries surround the town park with gazebo. Beautiful just now with thousands of Christmas lights and a huge tree. Santa in the gazebo. Wonderful spot for locals and travelers alike.
