Some notable structures within the district include Bethsalem Community Chapel, the Wartrace General Store, and the Caboose Museum, which houses railroad relics. Perfection Leather, a business in operation since the early 1900s, is known for making the saddles worn by the first three national champion Tennessee Walkers. It also manufactured the bridle worn by Bonnie Blue Butler's pony in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind. A structure included in the district that has earned its own NRHP designation is the Walking Horse Hotel.[2] Architecture within the district encompasses the Queen Anne, Italianate, and Bungalow styles.
