History & The Legend

The Buford Pusser Home and Museum, a law enforcement museum, stands as a moment in time as if waiting for Sheriff Buford Pusser to return home from another shift serving the public. The modest brick ranch home contains the original furnishings, photos, cars, guns and memorabilia of the Pusser family. Buford Pusser was the subject of several major motion pictures. The "Walking Tall" movies tell about his life and tragic death.

"The only bad thing I can say is that our time there was too short! I say this to one and all, if you want to meet a great bunch of people that will give you a time to remember then by all means go visit the Buford Pusser Museum. We both thank you all and look forward to returning for another visit!"
