This would have been skipped if not for the sign along the interstate. I thought, "Wait, THAT…read moreCrockett?" and yes, this is related to the pioneer Davy Crockett who was killed at the Alamo. A lovely friendly woman at the desk who informed me that they only accept cash or checks, which is quite 1800s if you ask me. I had already used up my cash (need to get more) and have Google Pay or cards. Oh, well. Thankfully, you can still walk the grounds for free and there's enough to see there too. This is the site of the original Crockett Tavern which was established and operated by John and Rebecca Crockett, the parents of David Crockett (1786-1836). It was the boyhood home of the pioneer and political leader of Tennessee. It is located along what was then the main trail from the east to the new frontier which is now US-11 and I-81. Lots to see with artifacts, a Conestoga wagon and memorabilia from the period. I found it interesting and $5 per person is a reasonable entry fee. Parking is a little limited but otherwise I'm glad I spotted the sign. [Review 20141 overall - 466 in Tennessee - 1117 of 2023.]

If you bring the kiddos promise me you'll get them each a coonskin cap. Aww, c'mon! It's Davy…read moreCrockett! Well, what can I say? They do a great job here. The museum is clearly marked and easy to spot right on the side of the road. Parking is easy across the street but it's also right near the residential area and I hate to park anywhere that might disrupt others. Guess they can't do too much about that tho. There is a walk area with adjacent facilities if you want to wash up after your travels. Nothing fancy, but clean and tidy. The museum is mainly open May-October so plan ahead for some sightseeing. The buildings are awesome. Replicas, of course. But nevertheless really cool to see and learn about Davy's early days working at pop's tavern. Try to get here during one of the living history days. Every child wants to wear a coonskin cap and romp around in the green like a frontier kiddo. Just do it.

The meals are predictable club fare and the Sunday brunch is quite enjoyable. I've never had a choice of anything that wowed me...it's a safe and sedate menu. Bar is well stocked and the bartenders are perpetually friendly. I don't know enough about wine to be a snob about it...so the Pinot Grigio and Melbac offerings get a thumbs up from me. Pool has a short season and there is no indoor facility for swimming. Tennis courts are almost always available. We are not golfers and that was a key decision point about joining. There were not enough social events for us to become members, after nearly 15 years of membership of a club in the city we moved from. That was the tipping point of our decision not to join. Club organized activities regularly are a must for us. We are at the club several times a month for Rotary, celebrations and fundraisers...when we see they have stepped up the social offerings, we will seriously consider joining!

I've been meaning to post this review for awhile. The museum is undergoing some renovations. It…read morewas enlightening to learn about more of the local history. We enjoyed a self guided tour of the home and a trip to the gift shop. General Longstreet was an excellent tactician with a heart for his men. It was interesting to learn that he was often in disagreement with General Lee, especially over Gettysburg and Pickett's Charge. After the War, he supported his longtime friend and once adversary, President Grant. He was also in support of Reconstruction and healing a nation. Glad to have this museum and the very helpful curator in our community.

Mr. William Nenney's house is probably not much to look at on the outside. It's not ostentatious…read more It's really rather simple. But the hard wood floors creak with charm and the small handful of Nenney family historical pieces bring it to life. Overall, it's very well preserved and chock-full of archives from the Civil War. Beyond showcasing Longstreet, actually the interior is full of information, anecdotes and historical tidbits about East Tennessee's fascinating role during several campaigns. And since I'm particularly intrigued with both those things this visit was a real treat for me! I told my tour guide that I was just passing through and that we needed to be quick. She understood and made accommodations. She was so sweet and just let me tour around the house at my pace while she stood nearby to answer questions. You can tell she really loved giving tours, especially to the school kids as she tells me. She says, "You realize, you are walking around the same place where Longstreet marched around in his boots. Right?" Well, yeah. When you put it that way it makes this house really cool. If you want you can time your visit around a reenactment which they host seasonally. Besides that, there's no blood or gore or big elaborate exhibit at this museum. Mainly just a select few artifacts and the rest is knowledge and oral storytelling and trinkets passed down from nearby families. At the adjacent visitor center you can pull out a read from one of the dozens of notebooks, binders, and archives of paper, print and historical record. It's really great preservation work. You'll just have to visit the Nenney house to see for yourself. There's lots to learn.

Parents, actors and patrons of the arts need to check out the new space for ENCORE Theatrical…read moreCompany! Whether you want to come see a show, work on set or brave the stage ENCORE will prove to be a resource for you and your family. This company produces shows for children and adults alike. I've seen the first two productions of their current season. Speaking of season, as it starts to warm up couples around the Morristown area will be looking for something new to do and an outing to the theater makes a great date night. SEASON TICKETS are a great gift idea! Recently I helped backstage with the production for End of the Rainbow, a musical by Peter Quilter, which tells the humorous, touching story of the fabulous Judy Garland. While unveiling incite to the elusive abuse endured by this iconic legend of the silver screen and her unfortunate passing, this show will make you laugh and give you pause. The set was great. Lighting was spot on and under the direction of Interim Executive Director Dr. Dennis Elks, the cast of local actors kept our eyes glued to the stage. Tennessee is the Volunteer State and over this past month it has been an honor to volunteer for Encore Theatrical. It feels good to work alongside other creative, passionate individuals all focused on helping not only our youth but new and seasoned artists alike have a space in which to grow. People can offer their help to assist with costumes, set construction, painting, organization, marketing, community outreach and so much more (all while exercising an old skill set or developing a new one)! Theatre will always have a place in the world as its roots are grounded in storytelling and empathy which connects all types of characters across all walks of life and sometimes you see a performance worthy of an ENCORE.

He was also a recording artist with several hits for RCA Victor in the 1960s Later, he went on to do television work, and most notably, was a star of "Hee Haw", a 1970s country-flavored network television variety show. This museum, dedicated to his memory, is a rather tired collection of old records, newspaper cuttings, posters and a few personal items that belonged to Archie Campbell. Along the street, is the small house he grew up in, which you can also tour the inside of. Worth seeing if you're in the area and are old enough to remember who he was, or just curious, but unless you're a huge fan, I wouldn't make this the sole focus of your trip. Combine this with a visit to the nearby Bulls Gap (Model) Railroad Museum for a day out. Entry to both museums and the house is free, with voluntary donation boxes in both museums. Archie is buried in Glenwood Baptist Church cemetery in Powell, Tennessee, just north of Knoxville, where you can find his grave.
