Historic Sites in Walland

"James White was the founder of Knoxville, and now you can see how he would have lived by visiting his former house, known as the James White Fort. The home is the perfect place to learn all about frontier life, and you can enjoy hands on displays here like cooking, spinning, and even blacksmith workshops. There are also special holiday events here at this working life museum such as ghost tours around Halloween, so make sure to check out what is on when you are in town."

"The James White Fort was built for James White as he led an expedition into the upper Tennessee Valley to reach the land of what we know as Knoxville. The fort was chosen as the capital of the Southwest Territory in 1790 and was donated in 1791. In 1970, the place was converted to a museum and since then the place holds the tools of wars, houses and other facets of the frontier life."

"The Ramseys were one of the first families to settle in Knoxville and were very involved in the local community. In 1797, the city’s first builder, Thomas Hope, constructed the Historic Ramsey House using Tennessee pink marble and blue limestone. Today, it sits on more than 101 acres (41ha) and has been restored and furnished to reflect the period of the Ramsey family’s occupancy."

"The Historic Ramsey House was built for one of the very first families to come to the city and settle. Colonel Francis Alexander Ramsey arrived as the house was finished in 1797 and his family was very much involved in the local community. Few other homes dating back to the 18th century are among the open tourist attractions in the region, so this is a real find."

"This extravagant house is sometimes called the Confederate Memorial Hall, and it’s one of the most visited historic sites in Knoxville. It was originally gifted as a wedding present to Congressman Robert Houston Armstrong and Louise Franklin. It also served as the Confederate army headquarters during the Siege of Knoxville; bullet holes in some of the walls are a vivid reminder of its wartime past."

"I was skeptical but the first time I tried it I fell in love with the food and very friendly staff. If you want an explosion of flavor eat here."

"Located in Kodak, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Old Tennessee Distilling Co. handcrafts each bottle from scratch. Old Tennessee promises to deliver authentic spirits worthy of their legacy with each sip. Using cornmeal locally ground at the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge, sugar, yeast and water, their crystal clear, superior moonshine reflects a tradition spanning generations."

"All I saw when we walked in to Old Tennessee Distilling Co were stacks and stacks of Moonshine in just about any flavor you could imagine. I’m not a huge moonshine fan, but I’ve been told theirs is very good. It didn’t take long to realize they produce so much more than Moonshine, and believe me when I tell you their products are delicious."

"Now you can enjoy genuine Old Tennessee Distilling Corn Whiskey – made with malted barley and wheat – and Dumplin Creek Moonshine, all here at Old Tennessee Distilling. 3605 Outdoor Sportsman Place Kodak 865-401-2574"

"Located in the heart of Gatlinburg near Ole Red and the Great Smoky Mountains Rangers Office, Gatlinburg Brewing Company offers a variety of original beers as well as tasty food. They keep customers on their toes with a beer tap list that is updated weekly. You can also enjoy appetizers like breadsticks and chicken wings, or make a meal out of it with a delicious craft pizza!"

"After a day spent exploring Gatlinburg, head to the Gatlinburg Brewing company for some craft beer and craft pizza!. This is great late night spot as well as they are open daily from 12 pm to 1 am and family friendly. Not to worry they also serve appetizers great for sharing like cheese breads, wings, and pretzel with beer cheese as well as an assortment of salads."
