Situated almost exactly halfway between Chattanooga and Nashville, McMinnville, Tennessee is an exciting but little-known day trip destination from Nashville and Chattanooga. The city is the county seat of Warren County, best known for being home to hundreds of plant nurseries filled with beautiful shrubs and trees, but there's more to do here than shop for landscaping supplies.

Children and adults alike will love visiting the Cumberland Caverns, a 32-mile cave system that can be explored by guided tour.

Both walking tours and spelunking tours are available. Other attractions include a historic house built in 1825, a beautiful Victorian mansion, and the nearby Rock Island State Park.
