Looking for Tennessee Recommendations
We all have certain states we are drawn to for whatever reason, and Tennessee is on my list for certain. I’ve been looking forward to visiting this state and I can’t wait to see all it has to offer. As we begin to compile our recommendation list, here are a few of the top places that were submitted. But we would love your thoughts on these places, or new suggestions altogether.
Parthenon, Nashville
If you don’t have any plans to visit Greece, we’ve been told to visit the re-creation of the Parthenon in Nashville. There are various tours, galleries and events to check out, but the architecture alone is worth seeing we’ve heard. It’s on the list!
Ruby Falls
Waterfalls are something we are used to seeing back home in Yellowstone, but we’ve heard that Ruby Falls is one of the most unique and beautiful things to see. Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga is apparently the place to see this beautiful underground falls.
National Civil Rights Museum
We have loved the historical places and national monuments we have been able to see this year so far, and the National Civil Rights Museum is on the list for top 5 places in Tennessee.
Rock City Chattanooga
The sites and natural rock formations are breathtaking and you can spend the entire day there exploring. The outdoors is our favorite place, and we would love to see what Rock City has to offer.
Country Hall of Fame Nashville
If you love country music then Nashville is the place for you. Nashville has so much culture and style, we hope to spend a day or two there while we are visiting. This museum will be on the list. I can’t imagine all of the records, and history that is kept there. Country music certainly has a culture that isn’t seen in every music genre. Looking forward to it!
Check out Casey Jones Home and Train museum. While there, try best Southern buffet in the state at Brooks Shaw’s OLD COUNTRY STORE in Jackson off I 40.
Tenn Safari Park in Alamo. A super drive thru, plus walk thru wildlife park
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have so many fun things to do. Dollywood and Ripley’s Aquarium are two attractions I recommend, and the mountains are breathtaking!
Ocoee River outside of Cleveland. Tour the Olympic Center there.
This was the site of the whitewater portion of the Olympics in 1996.
Memphis is in our plans for later next week. Mojo tour provides a good overview of the blues music scene there and starts at BB King’s.
I will be sharing my impressions in April on my blog site – offthehooknowblog.wordpress.com , and encourage you to check it out.
