"In 1982, the city of Knoxville hosted the World’s Fair, sloganed Energy Turns The World. The organizers worked together with architects local to the area to create an impressive structure that would thematically bring the sun – the greatest source of energy – down to earth and into what we now call World’s Fair Park. The result of this project was The Sunsphere, a huge round object fitted with reflexive glass pane panels, layered with dusted gold, balanced on a tower of hexagonal shape."

"Constructed for the 1982 World’s Fair, the Knoxville Sunsphere is a 266ft-high (81m) steel structure with a 75ft (23m) gold glass sphere. The fourth level has an observation deck that gives visitors a 360-degree view of downtown Knoxville, the Tennessee River and the Great Smoky Mountains."

"The Old Forge Distillery makes modern-day moonshine that’s inspired by Pigeon Forge’s rich history. The distillery’s signature 1830 Original Unaged Corn Moonshine harkens back to the year when the town’s historic grist mill was constructed, and the distillery still gets its grain from The Old Mill. While deeply inspired by the town’s history, The Old Forge Distillery’s product line is far from only standard Tennessee spirits."

It’s an eye-opening experience to see the teams clad in 19th century-style uniforms, adhering to the rules and equipment standards of the day."

"Victor Ashe Park is about a twenty minute drive from where I live, and it wasn’t really on my radar until I met a friend there. This park kicked off my curiosity about all of the other awesome local parks I must be missing out on. While it doesn’t have a splash pad, it has a terrific playground for kids of all ages, a pavilion, an amazing walking trail that goes a little over half a mile around the playground and an enormous field in the middle (4 soccer fields worth — perfect for kite flying), as well as a dog park!"
