OUR HISTORIC ROOTS RUN DEEP Our story runs deep with history and culture in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee. Home to what is commonly known as America’s First Frontier, this is where you’ll find a gateway to the west, some of the oldest towns in Tennessee, home to a former United States President and iconic rugged frontiersmen, as well as the birthplace of country music, and the state that almost made it. Northeast Tennessee’s past is just as inspiring as the culture and traditions that continue today.
