Hampshire is an unincorporated community in Maury County, Tennessee, United States.[1]

Education

Hampshire Unit School, enrolling kindergarten through grade 12, is operated as a unit of Maury County Public Schools.[2]

Police protection

Since Hampshire is unincorporated, no government body represents the town personally to provide a police service. The Maury County Sheriffs Department maintains all law enforcement duties. Constables also have concurrent jurisdiction with the sheriff; however, they rarely exercise such authority.

Fire protection

Hampshire is protected by the Hampshire Fire Department, division of the Maury County Fire Department.

Businesses

Hampshire has two businesses currently in operation, including Mac's Whiteside Market, a convenience store, and Copperhead Creek, a woodworking and carpentry studio. Also present is the Hampshire Museum and the Hampshire Men's Club. All aforementioned businesses are located along Tennessee Highway 412 through the main part of town. Hampshire is also home to Amber Falls Winery & Cellar.

Events

Hampshire recently began its annual "Hampshire Jubilee and Festival," which includes vendors, food trucks, and live music.
