Jonesborough
Five thousand residents live in the absolute OLDEST town in Tennessee. Did you know that? It was settled before Tennessee was even a state and throws some pretty fantastic historical events.
“Tennessee’s Oldest Town” is a mixed blend of shopping and outdoor excursions while staying true to its historical roots.
Appalachian culture is taken seriously in Jonesborough, preserved in museums like the Chester Inn Museum, Washington County/Jonesborough History Museum, and walking tours led by locals who have a passion for our roots.
This history is also preserved through storytelling, as Jonesborough has become the Storytelling Capital of the World, hosting the acclaimed National Storytelling Festival every year.
