Wet or dry (Franklin, Lynchburg: home, art, move)

[sunshine girl]

Trying to compile as much research into our next move as possible. Can anyone tell me if these counties are wet/dry/moist. This info is hard to find for some reason.

Franklin
Marion
Grundy
Maury
Warren
Sequatchie
Coffee

Thank you.

It is hard to locate. I think someone had tried to compile some info on a thread some time back. If you do a search for "dry county" or related keywords, it might be helpful.

And, if all else fails, it seems like it wouldn't be too much of a chore to call the county governments to get a full description first-hand. I've heard a lot of variations on the wet/dry/moist theme in various areas.

Good luck!

Here is one thread on dry counties in TN, although it isn't a list of the counties, more of an explanation of what is allowed and what isn't.
Dry counties....what exactly are the rules?

And, here is an interesting bit of trivia about the Jack Daniels distillery:Tennessee

• The consolidated city-county government of Lynchburg and Moore County, Tennessee, is a dry county, notwithstanding that it is home to the Jack Daniel's distillery. (A special state law allows the distillery to sell small, commemorative bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey to tourists, but not on Sundays.)

One more thread to check, but I think you will find that in one way or another, most counties manage to provide liquor and beer, but still remain dry in that they do not have liquor stores or package stores.

Clear this up for me. Is a county considered "dry" if it allows beer sales, but not liquor?

Not to me. Also, cities can regulate beer, too.

We were in cumberland county and I was told it's a dry county. But they had beer at grocery stores and wal mart. I believe beer and wine aren't considered "alcohol" in some areas lol...

Wine and hard liquor are regulated by the state. They can only be sold in package form by liquor stores

My goodness, thank you so much. I don't know how you found that info. I guess I stink at googling stuff. I'm always amazed at what others can do with the internet. Thanks again.
