Winona is an unincorporated community in Scott County, Tennessee, United States, located near the mouth of Buffalo Creek, a tributary of the New River.
On March 28, 1915, Winona was the site of a train wreck when the 50feet high Buffalo Creek Trestle failed while a train was crossing. The incident, which destroyed both the railroad bridge and the train, killed one person and injured four others.[1]
