Marathon Village Parking


Marathon Village is a neighborhood born out of the buildings that once housed Marathon Motor Works (1910-1914). The company started in Jackson, Tennessee in 1907. It was the first factory to totally manufacture automobiles in the southern United States and the only one to do so until General Motors made the Saturn in 1990.

Beginning with the purchase of his first building here in 1986, owner Barry Walker has supported a thriving creative community and made a center for commercial, performing, and visual arts. He designed a plan to preserve the historical and architectural significance of each space while creating a space for:

  • Affordable work studios
  • Unique retail shops
  • Commercial artists
  • Performing arts and Entertainment
  • Food and drinks
  • Event spaces for banquets, wedding receptions & parties
