The V&E Greenline Community Park is 1.7 miles long. It requires constant maintenance—mowing the grass, removing dead trees and planting new ones, tending to the shrubs and overgrowth, providing landscaping and managing the activity of the park. In order to accomplish this, the V&E Greenline has accumulated an array of equipment: a Kubota tractor with a front-end loader, mower and blade; a trailer to haul debris; three riding lawn mowers and numerous hand tools.  The V&E Greenline Stationhouse has improved the ability of the volunteers to access and use this equipment.  

The V&E Stationhouse will also be a meeting and recreational space. The windows of the stationhouse will display V&E Greenline memorabilia, while the inside walls will have posters reflecting the history of the V&E Greenline.

The V&E Stationhouse was built in a historic theme. The area adjacent to the V&E Greenline is a National Historic District. The V&E Greenline was developed on the site of the old L&N Railroad whose historic predecessors dated back to 1840. 

The V&E Greenline Committee and volunteers assisted in planning, fund raising, painting and many other activities. Thank you to the Executive Director and Board of VECA CDC for their support of this complicated project.

The Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation provided a grant to the V&E Greenline for the stationhouse project.  Allstate Insurance Company provided a grant to help build the stationhouse.  A special thanks to Allstate agent Woody Pierce for his efforts to obtain the grant.
