    Relocating to Crossville, Tennessee ? Here are some State Facts :

    Are you looking to relocate or vacation in Crossville, Tennessee ?

    The Cumberland Plateau has been called by some ( in their opinion ) heaven. With our 180 degree mountain views, historic downtown and average climate/weather and popular rivers and streams it feels like home.

    Crossville, Tennessee is centrally located between Knoxville and Nashville.

    Some Tennessee Facts :

     The mockingbird was selected as the state bird in 1933. One of the finest singers among North American birds, it possesses a melodious song of its own, and is noted for its skill in mimicking the songs of other birds.

    Did you know that Tennessee has a State Insect ?

     Tennessee has two official state insects: the firefly and the ladybug. The firefly emits a luminescent light easily seen on summer evenings. The light is a natural form of incandescent light which man has never completely duplicated.

    The reddish-orange ladybug has distinctive black spots on each wing cover. It helps farmers by controlling insect pests, especially aphids. In folk medicine, ladybugs were believed to cure various diseases such as colic and measles.

    Our State Gem

     Tennessee river pearls are taken from mussels in the fresh water rivers and come in many shapes and colors. Unlike cultured pearls, which are partially man-made, our river pearls are totally made by the mussel. They are 100% natural pearl through and through.

    Tennessee State Capital

     In Tennessee's early history, four different towns served as the seat of government: Knoxville, Kingston, Murfreesboro and Nashville. Nashville was chosen as the permanent capital city in 1843. The capitol building was designed by noted architect William Strickland, who died during its construction and is buried within its walls. Marble quarried in Tennessee was used for the primary building material. A magnificent example of Grecian architecture, the building was begun in 1845 and completed in 1859.

    Our State Flag

     Adopted in 1905, the flag features three stars representing the grand divisions of the state: East, Middle and West. The stars are bound together in unity by an unending white band.

    Tennessee State Tree

     The tulip poplar was adopted as the state tree by the State Legislature in 1947. The tulip poplar was chosen because it was used extensively by the Tennessee pioneers to construct their houses, barns and other buildings. The tree sometimes reaches a height of 200 feet and frequently shows 50-100 feet of trunk without a branch. The bark is smooth and brownish gray. The leaves are very smooth with a broad notch at the tip. The flowers are tulip-like, green and orange in color, and are 1-3 inches deep. In honor of the state's Bicentennial celebration in 1996, the yellowwood was named Tennessee's bicentennial tree.

    Tennessee State Wildflower

     The passion flower was declared the state wildflower in 1973. It received its name from Christian missionaries to South America, who saw in the flower's various parts symbols of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

    Tennessee State Flower

     The iris was designated as the state cultivated flower by the Legislature in 1933. While there are several different colors among the iris, the purple iris is commonly accepted as the state flower.

    Our State Animal

     The raccoon is a furry mammal with a bushy, ringed tail and a band of black hair around its eyes. Raccoons eat fish and frogs that they catch in rivers and streams. They measure from 30 to 38 inches long and weigh from 12 to 25 pounds.
