Who knew that when the County Court decided to purchase a 104-acre expanse of land called the Baddour Estate 1974, that it would eventually turn into one of the busiest and most popular recreational centers in Tennessee? In fact, the agriculture center is so popular it has become the permanent home to a ton of fun activities like the Wilson County Fair, the Whip Crackin’ Rodeo, and the annual Dancing Lights of Christmas. In addition to the mainstay events, the James E. Ward Agriculture Center also regularly hosts consumer fairs, carnivals, trade shows, and exhibitions. Oh, did we mention that the center is also open to people who want to go camping?
