The Eagleville Times is part of the larger Carolyn Smotherman Collection, which contains materials related to Rutherford County and surrounding towns, including Eagleville, and includes genealogical records, local business records, newspapers, photographs, and various publications relating to the county and state. As part of this collection, Mrs. Smotherman donated an almost complete run of the Eagleville Times, spanning 2003 to 2013.
The Eagleville Times began in 2003 by editor Debbie Ryan in which she produced one newspaper per month to serve the communities of Eagleville, Arrington, Chapel Hill, College Grove, Rockvale, Triune, and Unionville. The newspapers include local advertisements, information on community events, school news, photographs, community history, local sports, obituaries, and birth and marriage announcements. The paper was so popular that from 2006-2009 they moved to publishing two papers a month but returned to once a month in 2010. The final issue of the Eagleville Times was printed in September 2013.
