The town of Collierville has much to offer. Its
quality residential living, award winning schools, a state-of-the-art
community theatre, recreational centers, a nationally accredited
police department, beautiful open spaces in part accomplished
through an extensive greenbelt plan, a strong sense of history
as evidenced by the preservation of the heart of the community

amenities is what this great city is all about.
