The Sam Watkins Book Festival is set for Saturday, March 14th, 2026, at 10 am at Historic Elm Springs (2357 Park Plus Drive, Columbia, Tennessee 38401).
Sam Watkins, a “high-private” in the Confederate Infantry, returned home to Maury County, Tennessee, and wrote his memories of the War Between the States. Together, these writings form “Company Aytch (H): Or a Side Show of the Big Show.” This book has become known and beloved around the world.
To celebrate Sam Watkins’ literary achievements, a book festival will be held at Historic Elm Springs on March 14th. Attendees will be able to meet and hear authors and shop THOUSANDS of gently used books.
This event is free and open to the public.
