Legendary Locals of Rutherford County attempts to capture this region's history and wealth through introducing some of its people and their lives.

Gov. Walter Dalton, funeral director T.R. Padgett, muralist Clive Haynes, novelist Kay Hooper, and museum founder-curator Mike Rhyne represent just a sampling of the more recent residents who have shaped the county, the state, and the nation
