This was my first visit here. I started not to go but I am very glad I did. Today was a beautiful…read moreday to be out and doing an outdoor activity. This Fall Festival is well talked about in around Chattanooga and brings in people from miles around. Features: Well, one is that there is the Sequatchie River flowing right beside it. There's also a dam on it too built by early settlers. There's an old two story house on the property that I wish they would let people tour. There is a non- working water powered sawmill on the site with the equipment still there. Anyway you get all kinds of different food here like; fried pies, BBQ sandwiches, roasted sweet potato, roasted sweet corn, kettle corn, local honey, northern beans, turnip greens, chicken on a stick and etc. of course you can get sweet tea here too. They have some talented crafters. One makes things from leather like belts, gun holsters, bill folds, any etc. he was very reasonable too. They have entertainers that come here too where you can sit back in your lawn chair and relax to music. They had two places for entertainers. One at the main stage and the other at the Jammin Tent ( Food Barn). History: Ketners Mill was built in 1868 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The last year that the sawmill operated was in 1955. The last year that Ketners Mill was in full operation was in 1992. Wagon Rides: For only $3 you ride a horse drawn wagon thru the woods. See photos. I really regret not doing this. Extra thoughts: I think Ketners Mill is a place to come and relax and enjoy good food and entertainment. I wished I had brought my lawn chair and stayed longer in front of the stage where people were singing and playing their instruments. There are some shade trees to put them under close to the stage. Directions: I recommend using I 75 and taking exit 155. You can also get here by using exit 158 but 155 is what I will use next time. Once arriving at the site you can park in the open field they direct you to depending upon where you enter. I made a mistake and decided to go through the mountains on the way back and ended up in the Signal Mountain area. I thought I wanted to take more scenic view but it's just a bunch of woods and a winding curvy road that just slows you down big time. I should have gone back the way I came in.

It got very busy during our visit and the line to enter when we left was long. They have free parking and it cost 7 dollars a person to enter, which I felt was a little steep but we paid. It is a typical farm fair atmosphere with numerous vendors, food, craft and drink (no alcohol). They had everything from carmel corn to chicken on a stick. Lots of homemade jams, honey, bread and other food stuff. We walked around the area and looked at various crafts, which there is a huge selection. They have an animal petting area and also canoes you can rent. They had a rustic stage where musicians played various blue grass and country music. It is a great place to take the family for a nice afternoon get away. I give it a 4 even though I am kind of cheap and personally will not go again for $7. There are too many free or more reasonable festivals all summer.

She was exceptionally welcoming, thanked my husband for his service, and processed our request for Silver Star specialty plates efficiently. She transformed what has historically been a source of stress and dread into a truly wonderful experience. Thank you, Lindsay B., for welcoming us to Tennessee!

I will say that this is an interesting place. This is where you go to get your car tags renewed or…read moreregister your car or get a handicap plate/tag. To get your driver's license, that's a separate location, which is kind of strange to me. I'm used to going to one place, the DMV - Department of Motor Vehicles - in California. It's an easy place to get in and out of, even when there's a long line. I've never waited more than 15 minutes or so. Coming from California, you can wait up to an hour and more, and that's WITH an appointment. Here, you just walk in. I've been there when there hasn't been any line and that's even more amazing! And the fees?!? You will never ever hear me complain about the fee to renew your tags. It's a flat fee of like $29!!! Yes! Again, in California it's a percentage of your car's value, meaning I've paid over $400 a YEAR to renew my tags. I keep waiting for Tennessee to say, "just kidding! Give us more money", but they don't. Oh, except if you live within the city limits of Chattanooga, you do pay $5 for an extra city tag. THEN you also pay a fee of $9 to do you car emissions test. In California (yeah I know I've said it many times) the emissions test or "smog check" as they are called there, does not have set fee. The centers are not State run, they are privately owned and can cost from $25-$100 or more. So here in Chattanooga I pay a whopping $43 a YEAR to renew my car tags. I'm telling you people, you don't know how good you have it here when it comes to government car fees. It's amazingly awesome!

There are so MANY things to love about Chattanooga, and Walden Town is one of the most charming,…read morelovely places to live and visit. This is an astounding mountaintop retreat. I am calling it a 'retreat', simply because it is definitely somewhere you might want to make your domicile. If you are in the Upper-upper Middle Class. You know, the class in Chatty that owns yachts, race horses, and the ones who go on vacations twice, maybe three or even four times a year, and stay at either their second home or the bougie hotels we all covet. The homes up here on Walden Town are bougie-fabulous, and are priced only for the upper crust of Chattanooga's movers and shakers. Everyone knows or has known or seen people like this. You might compare these million-dollar-homes to places on the West Coast in California like La Jolla, or even tony Bel-Air, California. There are several differences to these homes vs California homes: 1). In Walden Town, for a million dollar plus home, it will cost you far less vs the same home in California. Replicate homes in Cali will set you back more than a few mil more than these in Walden Town, easily. I've taken the square footage of these comparable homes into consideration, meaning . . . I'm comparing apples to apples as best as I can see from comparing Zillow' listings. Except land mass. 2). Comparing the amount of land between the two states that these homes sit on is that the amount of land derived here in Walden Town is generally larger, though there are exceptions. Most of these thickly-wooded lots in Walden appear to be firmly 2+ acres. In over-crowded Cali, can you get that much space with the same home? Sure you can, but it's going to cost you an additional million or more for those amenities. Enough with the housing. I didn't take any pictures of anyone's home because I kinda felt it a bit intrusive. Especially since I was taking a sunny Sunday drive. Lots of residents were out and about, walking up and down hills with their walking sticks, their families, and their furry friends. As we drove by them, mostly all waved "Hello". Friendly folks. And that you will find is true in all of the 'nice' neighborhoods of Chattanooga. Friendly. That view though. WOW! Breathtakingly gorgeous! I also have to say, this is a wonderful spot to take in the most lovely views of the Tennessee River Gorge due to the high elevation in this location. We were not able to stop to do this, since there only were driveways to the homes of the peeps living there. The paved road is narrow and we did not see any turn-outs, except the ones on someone's land. Still, we were able to take in breathtakingly-fleeting views going down and several freely-running waterfalls. Again, no turn-outs for the waterfalls. The foliage and vegetation growing all over the place is a sight to behold! Beautiful rainbow colors abound everywhere, and the thick trees are just a lovely difference from the lack of dense woods in most states elsewhere. I've heard the roads are so hazardous when it rains at sea level because, since we're talking high elevation, it snows up there guys . . . as you traverse to the top. I've also been told that, because of the snow and icy roads during these times, 'Walden' homeowners have the luxury of staying inside, because the city actually closes the roads leading up to Walden town. The only drawback I can see. But is it? I mean, multi-millionaires have the luxury of working from home 365 days a year. Don't they? *****FIVE FABULOUS STARS*****

It is a drawbridge and carries North Market Street across the Tennessee River. It was completed in 1917 and has concrete arch spans with the center span being a bascule. It is a double-leaf Scherzer rolling lift that stands about 70 feet above the river. The bridge is an easy walk though there is no barrier from traffic other than the raised curb. If you're concerned about traffic, you should walk the other bridge. [Review 18816 overall - 351 in Tennessee - 2339 of 2022.]
