Macon County, Administrative county in northern Tennessee, United States.
Macon County spans 307 square miles of rolling hills and rural landscapes in the northeastern Highland Rim region of Tennessee.
Established in 1842, Macon County supported the Union during the Civil War, with many residents joining Kentucky regiments due to local opposition.
The county capital Lafayette, named after the French military officer, maintains museums and historic log cabins displaying regional artifacts.
The Lafayette Municipal Airport and multiple state highways, including SR 10, SR 52, and SR 56, provide transportation access throughout the county.
Red Boiling Springs features three preserved hotels from the 1920s mineral springs resort period, when visitors sought therapeutic mountain water treatments.
