===Tipton County Museum===
The Tipton County Museum is located in Covington. The museum houses various history exhibits featuring artifacts from Tipton County's rich heritage and a nature center depicting the unique ecosystem of West Tennessee. Taxidermies of local species and [[mastodon]] bone fragments give insight into the natural history. Adjacent to the museum, a {{convert|20|acre|ha|adj=on}} park with a {{convert|1/2|mi|m|adj=on}} walking trail can be found. Natural woodland and man-made wetlands are the sites for a few smaller local species, such as turtles and birds. The Veterans Memorial in front of the museum commemorates the soldiers from the county who lost their lives in wars.<ref name=TipCtyGuide/><ref>
