Morristown puts visitors on the doorstep of Cherokee Lake and within easy driving distance to the Smokies or the Clinch Mountain Range. A revitalized downtown keeps its historic small-town appeal, complete with overhead sidewalks and boutique shops, antique dealers and cafes.
If you’re looking for a bit of East Tennessee heritage, you can learn about the old ways at the long-running Mountain Makins Festival. Visitors can also get in touch with folk hero Davy Crockett’s roots and follow some of the lesser-known footsteps of Confederate Gen. James Longstreet in Morristown.
