== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Macon County is and has been for the most part, one of the state's more overwhelmingly Republican counties. It was one of the few in Middle Tennessee to have more support for the Union than the Confederacy.
* Red Boiling Springs thrived as a mineral springs resort in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Three hotels from this period– the Donoho Hotel, the Thomas House Hotel (previously the Cloyd Hotel), and the Armour's Hotel (previously the Counts Hotel)– are still open, though only the Armour's still offers mineral water treatments.
* Red Boiling Springs hosts one of the biggest annual festivals in Tennessee, The Summer Solstice, attracts around 2,000 people every year for 3 days of camping out on an organic farm listening to live music, and eating fresh organic food. Marked by the 1st day of summer and longest day of the year the celebration is usually put off until the following weekend.
* At the beginning of the 21st century, a large water bottling plant was built on the outskirts of Red Boiling Springs by Nestlé, where water is bottled from Bennet Hill Springs, a source of Freestone water. Ironically, the plant removes all the natural minerals from the water by reverse osmosis and later adds a specific mixture of minerals to give it a consistent taste.
