Haynes Haven Farm aka GM Welcome Center, is located south of Spring Hill on the west side of HWY 31. It was established in the mid 1930's by W. M.

The previous house on that location was known as Woodlawn. It was named by Dr Spivey McKissack, first mayor of Spring Hill. He named it Woodlawn because of the large trees that filled the lawn. The trees were destroyed by a tornado in 1875.
Col Haynes continued to use the farm to bread horses until his death.
After being owned by several notable families, the house was sold in the mid-1980s to General Motors. They converted the old stables into their Saturn Welcome Center.
