If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Sitting 18 miles away, McMinnville is worth getting in the car for. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Cumberland Caverns, Black House and Falcon Rest Mansion and Gardens. The locals will also probably point you toward Cookeville, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Golden Eagle Golf Club. (But we’re also big fans of Cookeville History Museum and Dogwood Park.)
