===Tipton County Museum===
The Tipton County Museum is located in Covington.  This museum displays and interprets artifacts from Tipton County's rich heritage. It also has a nature center depicting the unique ecosystem of West Tennessee.  Mountings of local animal species are kept there, and fragments of [[mastodon]] bone represent species alive during its ancient natural history. Adjacent to the museum, there is a 20-[[acre]] park, with a {{convert|0.5|mi|m|0}} walking trail. Natural woodland and a man-made [[wetland]] provide habitat to some of the smaller local species such as [[turtle]]s and [[bird]]s.

The Veterans Memorial in front of the museum commemorates the soldiers from the county who lost their lives in wars. This museum is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and admission to the museum and to the park is free.<ref name=TipCtyGuide/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tiptonco.com/museum.htm |title=Tipton County Museum |access-date=2008-10-04 |publisher=Tipton County |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081006040911/http://tiptonco.com/museum.htm |archive-date=October 6, 2008 }}
