Shiloh, Hardin County, Tennessee
Shiloh is an unincorporated community in Hardin County, Tennessee. Before the Battle of Shiloh/Pittsburgh Landing Pittsburgh Landing (North of the Hornets Nest) “Pitts” Tucker founded Pittsburgh Landing, Tennessee by building a tavern and so a town and port was built around that. Shiloh (South of the Hornets Nest) Shiloh is of somewhat unknown origins but descendants of the Iroquois settled the area and built the Indian mounds in both Pittsburgh Landing/Shiloh and Savannah, Tennessee.
