February 4, 2022 Weston Hennigan

During the Civil War, Knoxville's Mabry-Hazen House served as headquarters for both the Confederate and Union armies. Today you can visit the house and other historic homes in this eastern Tennessee city. Among Knoxville's other attractions are museums, a zoo and World's Fair Park, site of the 1982 World's Fair. University of Tennessee sports draw lots of fans, as does the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. To see Knoxville from the water, take a leisurely riverboat ride down the Tennessee River.

Market Square

Reviewed By 304maggiel - Fort Lauderdale, United States

Great place for a fun and relaxed afternoon or evening! friendly atmosphere with welcoming restaurants serving delicious food to choose from in casual outdoor terraces or more formal indoor settings. Regardless of what your choice is you will be sure to satisfy taste buds and hunger pains. There is also a comedy club with a great bar, an outdoor stage and small shops with fun and unique ambiance and beautiful restored old historical buildings housing restaurants and shops. A beautiful suffragette sculpture centerpiece stands welcoming at the entrance of Market Square and on quiet afternoons a street violinist plays in the background. Surely a friendly and relaxed square that everyone will be sure to enjoy!

Krutch Park

Reviewed By TennesseePostcard - Murfreesboro, United States

I stumbled upon this while leaving Market Square and cut through it to expedite getting to the Sun Sphere. Close to the art and the history museums. Free.

East Tennessee Veterans Memorial

Reviewed By MRVEGAS711 - Portland, United States

A quiet place to remember the lives loss during all the American conflicts. They recognize medal of honor recepients and others whom have lost their lives. I would recommend visiting this if wandering the World's Fair Park.

Marble Springs State Historic Site

Reviewed By 296beverlyy - Knoxville, United States

Marble Springs surprisingly haunted in the broad sunshine, but in a good way. You actually will feel the spirits there and appreciate the difficulties of settling this new land called the American Colonies.
