Welcome to East Tennessee!

We are so happy you're here! East Tennessee is in the eastern U.S. time zone and has so many entertainment venues for you to explore when you visit or move to our region. From shopping to eating to theater to state parks to national parks to mountain views to the Cherokee National Forest to seasonal activities, there is always something to do in East Tennessee. And we would like to share some of these experiences and locations with you. Occasionally, we might sneak in a few adventures only a few minutes' to a few hours' drive (depending on your East Tennessee location) across the borders into western North Carolina, southeast Kentucky, southwest Virginia, and northern Georgia.

So, we invite you to bookmark this site, https://visiteasttennessee.blogspot.com/, and visit often as we highlight these activities for you. From the beaten path to the hidden treasures, we're going to make you feel as welcome as possible.

If you enjoy history and want more facts about East Tennessee, you can read about them at Wikepedia. As we post about certain areas and entertainment, more Wikipedia links or Tennessee.gov links will be provided. 

In the meantime, enjoy the mini photo gallery below of some of the locations we have enjoyed in the past.
