There are two main cities in Coffee County, Manchester Tullahoma.
Manchester is centrally located between Nashville and Chattanooga.
Approximately 60 minutes from either one. Huntsville, AL is also
located within an hour and a half drive. With a unique blend of
Southern hospitality and big city sophistication, Manchester and
Tullahoma are great places to live, raise a family, and retire. U.S. Air Force’s Arnold Engineering Development
Center is also located in Coffee County with over 40,000 acres adjacent
to both cities. The Bonnaroo Music Festival has put down permanent roots in Manchester with the purchase of 530 acres of pristine countryside. In addition to making Manchester one of Tennessee’s largest cities for a weekend, the music and arts festival also creates a staggering economic impact on Coffee and surrounding counties. |
