The square’s centerpiece is Confederate Park, complete with large shade trees that make picnicking nice in warm weather, benches from which you can watch the downtown hubbub, a bandstand and sidewalks laid out in the pattern of a Confederate flag. The attachment to the Confederate theme makes sense if you consider the city was incorporated a mere five years after the end of the Civil War and is situated only a few miles from the Mississippi state line.
	Across the street from the park is a tribute to the city’s railroad history. A depot sits next to a 1912 steam engine, a caboose and an executive railcar, The Savannah, built in 1915. The history of the engine includes the transport of troops during World War II. Visitors can stroll through The Savannah’s two suites, dining room, kitchen, observation room, valet’s room and crew’s quarters.
Collierville isn’t confined to its Victorian downtown square. It’s one of the fastest growing communities in Tennessee and so has the full complement of restaurants, stores and hotels for your convenience. Collierville is home to many large corporations including the FedEx World Tech Center, Baptist Hospital and the Carrier Corporation. Also, scheduled to open in 2004, is a 1.1 million square foot open-air shopping center that will be known as Carriage Crossing.
	Finally, Collierville opened the doors of its new Town Hall in March of 2003. The building is located in Halle Park, which when completed, will have a 25 acre lake, running trails and a business park. The Park also includes the Collierville Burch Branch Library.
