Bedford County lies in the great Central
Basin of Tennessee. The prevailing rocks are limestone,
generally thinly bedded and flaggy, but with some fine building
stone. The limestone belong to the Nashville and Lebanon
formations, limestone low in the geological series. West of
Shelbyville excellent building stone abounds. Two other
varieties of limestone are found in the county, called white
rock and sandstone or fire rock. The white rock, found in the
northwest corner of the county, bears a good polish and makes a
good appearance in buildings, standing the weather well. The
sandstone or fire rock occurs in thick beds eight miles west of
Shelbyville, and is coarse, soft and easily worked, but in thin
slabs is flexible. The sandstones which cover the knobs are of
little value. Read more.....
