After leaving Pennsylvania, we headed south on I-81across the Potomac River and the Mason Dixon Line, then through the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains. Our destination was Sevierville, Tennessee in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Great Smoky Mountain National Park, established in 1934, has become one of the country's most visited parks. It was very crowded the day we drove through, but the scenery and vivid colors of the hardwood forests was worth the effort.
We learned that Sevierville is hometown to country music star Dolly Parton...a bronze statue on the courthouse lawn, Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, and Dollywood theme park are located there.The towns of Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg provide lodging, entertainment and shopping for everyone...from local arts and crafts to brand name outlets, zip-lines to zoos, and lots of live music and comedy shows, plus restaurants and cafes of every kind!
Sevierville is also home to Bush Brothers and Company Visitor Center, where you can learn all the required steps to preparing that American standby: Bush's Baked Beans.
