East Tenn Interesting Places

How far east? I can give you ideas along 127. Farther over,take this for what it's worth,but unless you love crowds,traffic jams and spending money like it was nothing,I'd stay away from Sevierville and Pigeon Forge like the plague. Gatlinburg is crowded and expensive,but if you just want to spend a day and get the devil out of there it's OK. The aquarium there is super nice.
 
Check out Downtown Chattanooga....Nice Aquarium, places to eat...And the North Shore/Coolidge Park area...Ride the "Ducks"..aka...WWII era Amphibious Landing Craft where you tour the City and River in the same trip...lol Eat at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo on Market St... Pricey, but good...

If you are into History, Chickamauga Battlefield only a few miles South into Ga. One of the largest Civil War Battles was there in 1863. Little further South is the town of Tunnel Hill....Another BIG battle site.

All these are easy to find...

And if you're into amusement parks, Dollywood is very nice. It's either in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. They're right near each other, but I can never remember which is which.

If you're a Southeastern Conference football fan, you might be able to attend a University of Tennessee football game in Knoxville.

Market Sq in downtown Knoxville, Chattanooga Riverfront, American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge, Dollywood, Museum of Appalachia, Fort Loudon/Sequoyah Museum, Jonesborough, lots more...
 
I'll second a stop in Chattanooga, and add:

Look Out Mountain. The views are fantastic even for those who are not history buffs.

There is a very good Railroad museum (of course, it's Chattanooga).

I've heard there is a large gun and knife museum, but I've never been there.
 
RCP! don't boycott Dollywood! Dolly probably needs a new bra, and like Dolly said herself, (dressing this trashy, isn't cheap!).
 
We will probably go to Dollywood one day, but hope to see some other sites as well. Thanks for all of the suggestions.
