Adairville
Skip unless you need a quiet stop on US 431 between Russellville and the Tennessee line: 30 minutes for a walk down Main Street, no overnight.
Adairville is a tiny Logan County town with a single-block downtown, a historic schoolhouse and not much else for a traveller. It works as a 20-minute leg-stretch on the drive between Russellville and Nashville, but has no reason to stop longer.
