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…?
- 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!
- Morristown
Brent Moore / Flickr Did you know that Douglas Lake, just south of Morristown, has 513 miles of shoreline? That’s so crazy!
- Skullbone
Brent Moore / Flickr One store and a sign, that’s all that’s out here in Skullbone. Strange times.
- Gatlinburg
faungg’s photos / Flickr Well, Gatlinburg definitely isn’t a small town. At all. But it can masquerade as one, so we’re adding it - don’t you think it’s really cute?!
- Leipers Fork
Derek Bruff / Flickr Little Leipers Fork is always a winner, plus it’s home to the original Puckett’s!
- Franklin
Kevin Oliver / Flickr Williamson County would be a different place without historic Franklin and the cute shops on Main Street.
- 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.
- Murfreesboro
Jasperdo / Flickr Not small - we know. But their downtown sure likes to masquerade like it is!
- Sweetwater
Nature’s Paparazzie / Flickr Have you ever gone antiquing in a small town? It’s insanely worth it.
- Mitchellville
Jimmy Emerson, DVM / Flickr There’s something sweet about this scene from little Mitchellville.
- Sherwood
Shannon McGee / Flickr Another railroad crossing - it’s almost necessary.
- 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?
