Something to do in Smyrna.

I have found that the rather large and imposing building called the Nissan plant is open for regular tours.
Tour the Nissan North America manufacturing plant in Smyrna where five Nissan brand cars and trucks roll off the lines. Maxima, Altima, Xterra compact SUV, Frontier truck, and Pathfinder SUV. The massive $2.1 billion facility covers 5.4 million square feet on 884 acres. More than one-half million vehicles roll off the line every year, and you are welcome to watch. Hours: Tours are offered Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Visitors view a video about the company and then ride the tram on a guided tour of the plant. No children under the age of ten are allowed on the tour. Cameras, including camera phones, are not allowed in the plant. Advance reservations are required. Admission: No admission charged. Location: 983 Nissan Drive, Smyrna, TN 37167. For more information and to make reservations, please call 615-459-1444.
If you have a scout troop, or school group, this may be a great activity for them. I remember enjoying myself when I toured the corvette plant in Bowling Green Kentucky years ago.
