Muscle Car Museum

If you love the old American muscle cars it's worth taking a run to Sevierville just down the road from Pigeon Forge to visit Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum, one of the largest and best collections in the world of American cars from the golden era of muscle cars. 

For a few years spanning the 50's, 60's and early 70's a unique thing happened in America, when the love of styling teamed up with the pursuit of horsepower to create some of the most beautiful, outrageous and downright FAST race machines ever built. 

Image courtesy of Muscle Car MuseumFloyd Garrett had a dream to collect them all and in his museum he houses over 90 of the greatest legends to come out of Detroit, every one of them gleaming like new.  It's a step back in time to revisit a bygone age. 

Even non-fanatics will catch their breath at the spectacular array of the cars, seeing design lines dreamed up by artists who were on a roll, beautiful automotive pain jobs, and lots of shining metal.  And for gear heads, it's pure heaven to find some of the rarest muscle cars ever collected in one place. 

Floyd Garrett is usually on hand to answer people's questions, and there seems to be nothing he doesn't know about muscle cars.  Beyond the amazing displays of cars and period setting artifacts, the museum has memorabilia and gift items in abundance.  The price of admission is low and you are encouraged to bring your camera!

Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum is open 7 days a week except Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Jayell Ranch

 High up in the Smoky Mountains, between thick patches of leafy trees and evergreens, lives a herd of horses that spend their days strolling through trails without a thought for the bustle of city life below.  Up there, the Jayell Ranch horses carry tour groups along a 4-mile trail, showing them more than 260 acres of trees and mountain views.

In addition to friendly horses and breathtaking vistas, Jayell Ranch also hosts the longest zipline in the Smokies, ATV tours and Off Road Go-Karts!


Jayell Ranch is located right next to Dollywood, the world famous attraction in the Smokies.

Tennessee Whisky Trail

It's all about history, tradition and ingenuity.

Tennessee is know the world over for our music and hospitality.  And our whiskey.  Tennessee has been a leader in spirits distillation throughout our nation's history.  That includes the time before, during and after Prohibition.  Our pride in craftsmanship and our spirit of independence led Tennesseans to make some of the world's finest whiskey and some of the nation's most sought after moonshine.  And it drives us to this day.  Today Tennessee distillers are crafting distilled spirits as diverse as the music born in this State.  From Blues to Bluegrass and from vodka to Tennessee Whiskey, Tennessee distillers are bringing our innovative and legendary spirits to our communities and the world. 

The Tennessee Whiskey Trail is made up of approximately 30 distilleries across the state.  These distilleries range from small, boutique-style operations to well-known distilleries that have been making legendary Tennessee Whiskey for generations.  


On the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, you will experience the history and tradition of Tennessee Whiskey as well as the innovation Tennessee distillers are bringing to whiskey, rum, gin, vodka and even moonshine.  Along the Trail, you'll get to know the rich landscapes, must-see landmarks, and genuine Southern hospitality that has influenced our spirits for generations and that embody the great state of Tennessee.  From The Great Smokey Mountains to the rolling hills and honky-tonks of Middle Tennessee to the jazz-filled streets of Memphis beside the mighty Mississippi River, The Tennessee Whisky Trail is an adventure across our land and our culture.  So come be a part of our story and let your adventures run on Tennessee Whiskey. 


Home to the mountain folk of legend, East Tennessee is a nature-lover's mecca.  From the Appalachian Trail to Cades Cove, the area is full of beautiful flora, fauna, lively streams and waterfalls.  And don't forget the ever-popular sights and sounds of towns like Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.  East Tennessee is also home to over 13 distilleries that range from Bootleggers Distillery, the smallest batch distillery in the nation (located right down the road in Hartford!), to Sugarlands Distilling Company, which offers not only tours and tastings, but also live music, Appalachian storytelling and outdoor adventure tours of "moonshiner's paradise" in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Join us for a spirited mountain adventure!
