In the mention of the first Automobile manufactured, I wanted to share that a neat look into 100 year old auto manufacturing can be found at the Marathon Motors Factory in Nashville.
Near downtown, and the Parthenon, is the original factory, now home to stores, and American Pickers.
Whats cool, are all the restored old Milling and Machinery left in the hallways.....dozens of pieces!
It is encouraged to touch, turn the wheels and belts, lower the drill press, and mills.
I have watched the enormous satisfaction of children being exposed to this, but being allowed
to touch and turn, makes a world of difference from a museum.
Good for an hour or so, and something to see, not seen often.
