The history of American manufacturing with all the exhibit items is well done. Eclectic shops and interesting merchandise and the museum across the street with the actual Marathon cars is epic. Adequate bathrooms and fun to see the Pickers store. I wish there had been more food options

Enjoyed the little shops here and the hallways lined with information about the short lived Marathon Car. Lots of well signed artifacts throughout. Not many food choices here so plan ahead. Don’t miss seeing the actual cars across the street as well as Antique Archeology from “Pickers” and the Moonshine/ Whiskey tasting as well. Easy parking when we got there around 10 AM and it was $10 for the day.

Marathon Village is a unique venue with a variety of small shops, eateries and distilleries centered around a museum of early automobile production machinery. Three distilleries - Corsair (has a more modern, urban vibe), Tennessee Legend (explore unusual liquor flavors, but touristy) and Nelson's (more traditional "serious" whiskey experience). Wine, olive oils & vinegars, Harley & Jack Daniels merchandise, gifts, boutiques & cafes. Walk through & closely examine all of the old machinery as you move through the various shops. Well worth spending a few hours. Note - those with limited mobility could find the interior walkways & ramps challenging.

A hidden gem. These guys made cars here from about 1910 to 1914. There are only 8 of these cars left. 6 of them are located in the management office across the street from the factory. All the tools are hanging up to show you what was used to make these cars. The actual factory has been reduced for shops. But you get the idea of how these factory worked.

This is a stop on the hop on hop off and would have not visited otherwise. There are 6 marathon cars to look at if 1910 cars are your thing. There are about 20 shops for tourists in the old factory but it is not like a mall. They are doorways into older rooms. The rock and roll art was nice to see and many places to buy Nashville souvenirs. Not a place to go if you are hungry. There is one cafe but closes early.
