Stagecoach Stop
This log cabin was used as the Collierville area’s stagecoach stop for many years in the mid to late 1800’s. Built in 1851 by William W. Talley, it was once located at Byhalia Road and South Rowlett on property now occupied by PepsiAmericas Bottling Co. This log structure was relocated and restored in 1977 by grants by the National Can Corporation and the Mississippi-Arkansas-Tennessee Corporation.

 

Depot 
As far as research can ascertain, it is believed that Collierville has had three depots. The first was built in 1852 and believed to have been located on the North side of the railroad tracks between Center and Walnut streets. The Battle of Collierville was centered around this depot where Sherman’s train arrived from Memphis around noon on Sunday, October 11, 1863. The second depot was located where Center Street now crosses the tracks. In the mid 1940’s the existing depot was moved from LaGrange, TN and located east of Center Street on the north side of the railroad tracks. In 1976 Southern Railroad gave the depot to the Town of Collierville and it was moved to its present location in 1977.

 

 

Sunset on the Square Summer Concert Series
Every year during June and July, locals and residents from nearby communities have come to know that 7:00 p.m. on Thursday evenings is the time when you drop what you’re doing, grab your lawn chairs, a picnic basket or a bucket of chicken and head for the bandstand in the Historic Town Square.

This traditional town favorite features a variety of musical groups ranging from R&B, Big Band and Classical to Bluegrass, Country, and Broadway show tunes. Young and old alike sit back and enjoy the music while savoring a snow cone or enjoying popcorn as the nighttime breeze flows through the park. The concerts features weekly intermission giveaways with prizes donated by local merchants, businesses, and Main Street members. Admission is free to the public and this park is handicap-accessible. (no pets or alcoholic beverages are permitted.)
