Visiting Smyrna

Smyrna has rural roots dating to the early 19th century, a heritage it shares with many of its neighboring towns. One such neighbor— Old Jefferson— is absent from today's maps. You might ponder its fate as you enjoy the serenity of a boat or kayak trip on Percy Priest Lake, a stone's throw from Smyrna, TN hotels. This natural treasure is actually man-made, created by a dam built along the Stone River, and in the process drowned Old Jefferson's centuries-old cedars, saloons, and antebellum houses. As you trace a finger over the lake's rippled surface, imagine the water-logged appointments of a once-thriving community now on the muddy lake bed deep below your gently bobbing vessel. It’s in knowing that everything is temporary, dear traveler, that everything should be cherished.
