Welcome!
Cross Plains is Robertson County's oldest pioneer settlement. "Founded in 1778 by Thomas Kilgore of North Carolina, the area "across the plains" drew settlers like a magnet as it had the people of Shawnee, Cherokee, and Chickasaw nations who roamed this land of abundant game, fresh water springs, and seasonal beauty. Much of the town's architecture predates the Civil War, and is enhanced by elaborate Victorian millwork created in the 19th century. From President Andrew Jackson to the outlaw Jesse James, people have been coming to the town of Cross Plains for a variety of reasons for over 200 years" This information is an excerpt from Across the Plains, by Rita Read.
Thomas Drugs is one of Cross Plains' oldest businesses. The current building dates back to 1915. It began as a dry goods store before it became a drug stone around 1928. The interior oak cabinets and the glass display cases are reminiscent of turn-of the century merchandising. Burgess Thomas founded his drugstore with an attitude of excellence in service. Dan Green purchases Thomas Drugs in 1974 and has continued that same commitment to excellence.
