There’s something sweet and wonderful about a tiny town – especially a tiny town in the south. Take a look at these lovely Tennessee spots, come visit and experience their small town fervor. Have you been to any…?

  1. Hollow Rock

Brent Moore / Flickr There are still a scant few in Hollow Rock, but the Main Street is full of abandoned storefronts. They’re still photogenic, though!

  1. Morristown

Brent Moore / Flickr Did you know that Douglas Lake, just south of Morristown, has 513 miles of shoreline? That’s so crazy!

  1. Skullbone

Brent Moore / Flickr One store and a sign, that’s all that’s out here in Skullbone. Strange times.

  1. Gatlinburg

  1. Leipers Fork

Derek Bruff / Flickr Little Leipers Fork is always a winner, plus it’s home to the original Puckett’s!

  1. Franklin

Kevin Oliver / Flickr Williamson County would be a different place without historic Franklin and the cute shops on Main Street.

  1. Bell Buckle

Jimmy Emerson, DVM / Flickr One of the tiniest and coolest little towns in the state, Bell Buckle is well worth the hour drive outside of Nashville.

  1. Murfreesboro

Jasperdo / Flickr Not small - we know. But their downtown sure likes to masquerade like it is!

  1. Sweetwater

Nature’s Paparazzie / Flickr Have you ever gone antiquing in a small town? It’s insanely worth it.

  1. Mitchellville

Jimmy Emerson, DVM / Flickr There’s something sweet about this scene from little Mitchellville.

  1. Sherwood

Shannon McGee / Flickr Another railroad crossing - it’s almost necessary.

  1. Cumberland Gap

Jimmy Emerson, DVM / Flickr Cumberland Gap? You win. You absolutely win.

We’re in love with these small towns. Which one is your favorite?
