Locust Grove - Northeast (Green Country) | ||||||||
Named for the locust tree which thrives naturally in this part of Green Country, the town of Locust Grove offers history, recreation, exceptional Native American art, and more. Located at the southern end of Lake Hudson, just below Robert S. Kerr Dam, the town was once the site of the Civil War's Battle of Locust Grove. A few miles east stands the historic Saline Courthouse, the only remaining structure out of nine identical buildings constructed by the Cherokee Nation between 1884 and 1888. Area recreational activities include hunting and camping, as well as boating, swimming, and fishing on Lake Hudson and many clearwater creeks and streams. Locust Grove is proud to be the home of many talented artists, both Native American and traditional. A gallery one mile east of town pays tribute to world renown sculptor Willard Stone. Master Artists Jason Stone, Ben Shoemaker, and Bill Glass also call Locust Grove home. Locust Grove also has plenty of antique shopping, as well as a flea market and swap meet every Thursday at the Old Sale Barn. Travelers who are seeking comfortable accommodations in the Lake Hudson area will be pleased with the new Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites on the south side of town, at the junction of Highway 82 and the Cherokee Turnpike.
