OUR HISTORY

Creating a space for seniors for over 50 years.

The Senior Activity Center of Smyrna was formed in 1971 when several members started meeting at Smyrna First United Methodist Church. Over the years, membership grew, and in 1978, land was leased from Rutherford County near the Old Rock School to build a new facility.

The building was constructed by students from Smyrna High School, and all materials were furnished by local businesses, churches, and individuals. In 1998, after two additions were built to the facility, the property was signed over to the Senior Center from Rutherford County.

In 2018, the membership agreed to change the name to Senior Activity Center of Smyrna to better identify who we are and what services we provide. In 2021, we celebrated our 50th anniversary. In 2023, we kicked off our Capital Campaign, "Building on the Legacy," to raise funds for a new, larger, state-of-the-art Senior Activity Center.
