Historic Nearby, 15 Minutes or less:

- Shepard Inn - 1814 – Presidents Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson stayed in the popular resting and eating spot for stage coach travelers. Originally, this was a two-story log house. Shadrach Inman added the frame exterior in ca.1823.

- Hickman Tavern - 1820 – A beautiful circular staircase winding to the third floor is the highlight of this Federal style structure bought by the Fain family; later occupied by James Hickman, who built the courthouse. The former tavern now serves as the Dandridge Town Hall. * Music on the Town held every Thursday evening in September behind Hickman Tavern, now known as Town Hall *

- Vance Building - 1823 – A Federal, three-bay brick structure with archways and transoms has served as home of the first Dandridge Telephone Exchange, post office, J.W. Vance Furniture and Funeral Parlor, Harris General Merchandise. Recently the building underwent certified historic restoration.

- Thomas Tavern - 1843 – James Mitchell built this early tavern and boarding house on a lot purchased from Hopewell Presbyterian Church after the church relocated. It features a double pen style used in log construction from 1780 to 1830. It now serves as the Tavern Shoppes & Décor.

- “Million Dollar Dike” - see the structure that saved the Town from flooding in the 1940’s when the lake was created to provide power for Oak Ridge during WWII.

- Revolutionary War Graveyard - As you walk into the Revolutionary War Graveyard you will be entering the birthplace of Dandridge and Jefferson County, for it is here that the first commissioners of the newly formed county of Jefferson met and chose this spot for the county seat in January of 1793. The old stone path leading from the steps crossed this plot of land to the oldest church in Jefferson County, Hopewell Presbyterian Church, which was organized in 1785 by the brave and religious Scots-Irish in a log building that stood for near the north side of the graveyard called Francis Dean’s or Robert Henderson’s Lower Meeting House. Francis Dean owned the land and the Rev. Robert Henderson was the first pastor of the church. To the rear of the graveyard a path wound down the hill to a clear, cool spring where the pioneer could quench his thirst after a long ride on horseback to attend services at the little log church in the wilderness.
