"If you were only going to visit one museum or historical site in Knoxville, this should be it!. The McClung sits on the eastern edge of the University of Tennessee campus. It has an incredible variety of exhibits, ranging from archaeological finds from ancient Egypt to one detailing the experience of ordinary Knoxville citizens during the Civil War."

"If you like basketball then you can’t miss the chance to pay homage to some of the basketball greats at the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. Here you will find memorabilia from 139 inductees into the hall of fame, and learn all about their backgrounds and contribution to the sport. There are also interactive displays here such as courts where you can try out your some of your own basketball skills."

"Knoxville is home to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a must-visit attraction for all sports fans. The Hall of Honor is where guests will find notable players of the game, however, it’s the interactive exhibits that really keep visitors coming back. Test your dribbling and passing skills on the interactive play areas."

"Tennessee Museum of Aviation, in Sevierville, is Tennessee’s official repository and archive of aviation history. Several vintage aircraft are on display in the hangar alongside some engines and military vehicles. Airworthy Warbirds are the collection’s foundation and the museum is the only place in the U.S. that boasts two airworthy P-47 Thunderbolts—less than a dozen of these World War II planes still fly in the world!"

"The Tennessee Museum of Aviation is one of the most educating and fascinating things to do in Sevierville TN. This museum is located beside the runway of the airport. Most of their selection of aircrafts are warplanes that have been restored. When walking around in their 35,000 square foot hangar, you can talk to war veterans who love sharing their story and all of what they know about aviation."

"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."

"Just a block away from Market Square and diagonal to the East Tennessee History Center, it’s a great place to start the day with some caffeine and pleasant conversation with your barista. And if you like the neighborhood already, that’s greater than great since you’ll be looping back around to it later in the day."

"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."

"There was wax attack at Hexagon Brewing, but we were feeling more of a German beer hall kind of afternoon, so we headed to Schulz Brau first for some hefes. Next up, it was over to Crafty Bastard where a Cuban food truck and a repurposed radiator repair shop greeted us. This funky and gorgeously open to the second story roof brewery is doing fascinating stuff with their concoctions, with White Arrow Pine Ale being SVV’s favorite and the Barkley Stout being mine."

"A Gold Medal Winner at the Berlin International Beer Competition, sip German-style beers in the full-scale brewery’s taproom and/or biergarten paired with all the quintessential favorite German dishes made from scratch daily. After grabbing some food and a few brews, head across the street to stop by the Central Filling Station Food Truck Park. But craft brews don’t stop here, Knoxville is overflowing with breweries."

"Every meal I've ever had is phenomenal, and the owner is very sweet!. For the price, you get a lot of food,..."
