Tennessee Museum of Aviation

Warbird Collection

The Tennessee Museum of Aviation strives to give an overall view of the people and places in aviation history that occured in and around Tennessee. This includes not only the Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame but also exhibits of physical artifacts from the various time periods in aviation history. Included with the price of admission is the hangar that is full of planes, located right past the exhibit hall. And these planes are not just models or pieces of planes, these are fully functional planes that are even flown on occasion, to the delight of visitors and locals alike.

The exhibit hall is the first thing that you get to explore at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. The quality of the exhibits is second to none. The pieces they have collected and that have been donated over the years, show an amazing attention to detail and a love for the science of aviation. One of the features, of course, is the Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame. The inductees are pictured as well as an explanation of the reasoning behind their induction. Included in the ranks of the inducted are such aviation legends as aeronautics pioneer Edward Chalmers Huffaker and Evelyn “Mama Bird” Bryan Johnson – a flight instructor with over 57,000 hours of flight time.

The other pieces of the exhibit include both military and civilian items that are tied to the aviation history of Tennessee. Again, the exhibits are of the top most quality. They have double and triple checked their facts and the displays are given plenty of attention so that the public can learn more about the diverse history of flight and flying from a state perspective.

The planes in the hangar do change occasionally but here is a partial list of some that you might get to see:

Republic P-47D Thunderbolt
Douglas A-1H Skyraider
North American T-38 Trojan
MiG 21
MiG 17
North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco
Beechcraft SNB
T-33
1902 Wright Glider (full scale replica)
Bell 222 Airwolf (full scale replica)

The aviation buff in your family is going to want to spend all day at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. Grownups and kids alike will find the facts and exhibits interesting and thought provoking. You will learn facts that make you say: “I didn’t know that happened in Tennessee.” This is a well maintained and curated museum, that you will want to come back to year after year. Make sure that the Tennessee Museum of Aviation is on your ‘to do‘ list for your next trip to the Smokies. And if you look up and see a WWII fighter flying over the city, don’t think you are seeing things, just follow it to the museum.

Fall Events in Sevierville

Fall in Sevierville, TN is one of the most popular times during the year to visit the area.

The annual Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival is a wonderful time to visit Sevierville, Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains. Between the crisp air, leaves changing color, and the smell of campfires, it’s probably THE time to be in the Smokies. There is simply no other time like fall here. If you have never experienced it or have only visited Sevierville during the spring or summer, then you don’t know what you’re missing! I suggest getting your bags packed and cruising on down right now to visit Sevierville before October 31!

The annual Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival is a wonderful time to visit Sevierville, Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains.

If you have never experienced it or have only visited Sevierville during the spring or summer, then you don’t know what you’re missing! I suggest getting your bags packed and cruising on down right now to visit Sevierville before October 31!

The Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival is a staple of fall in Smokies that includes the towns of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville. The event kicks off on October 1 and will last through October 31. It’s basically a celebration of autumn and many local businesses take part. There will be an assortment of “fall displays” throughout each town with pumpkins, scarecrows, stacks of hay, cornstalks, and all sorts of other fall decorations. Traditional Appalachian music can be heard in Sevierville, along with bluegrass and gospel. Artisans from the artistic community whose expertise include; basket weaving, candle making, pottery, quilting, dolls, scrimshaw, jewelry, leather, fine photography, art, stained glass, and much much more. This isn’t a “made in (insert foreign country here)” festival…no sir…this is a genuine, made in the Smoky Mountains by good ‘ole country folks crafts and artwork! You’ll get to meet and talk to the artists face-to-face, which you don’t get at many local festivals. Each year, so many festival-goers come back and visit the same shops in order to add to their collection of unique pottery, jewelry, art, etc. It’s a festival unlike anything outside the Smokies.

Sevierville’s Dolly Parton Statue

A statue of country music legend Dolly Parton sits in front of the Sevier County Courthouse in downtown Sevierville, TN – Dolly’s hometown.

Hometown girl turned pop-icon, Dolly Parton, is the most celebrated person from Sevier County, Tennessee. On May 2, 1987, the town of Sevierville and Sevier County paid tribute to her by way of a statue on the front lawn of the courthouse in downtown Sevierville. The statue was designed by local artist Jim Gray and has become a stop for many people visiting the area. Thousands of Dolly Fans have stopped by over the years to be photographed with the statue and carry home that memory of their trip to the mountains.

Dolly Parton grew up in Sevier County. Upon graduating from Sevier County High School, she moved to Nashville to become a star. Over the years as Dolly became more and more famous, she never forgot the people of her Tennessee mountain home. In 1986, Dolly threw her lot in with the Herschend family to open Dollywood which has become an award winning theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Two years later, she opened Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge which has since become the longest running dinner show in town. Along with helping to bolster the tourist industry, Parton has also helped increase the graduation rate and the literacy rate in Sevier County with other projects including the Books From Birth Imagination Library program which provides free books to young children throughout the state.

Sevier County wanted to show their gratitude to Dolly by commissioning a statue made in her honor. To that end they contacted local artist Jim Gray to make the statue that now resides in front of the courthouse. Jim Gray is a part of the cultural landscape of the Smokies. He moved his entire family here in the 1960s to begin capturing the area that he loved and that he grew to call home. Gray is most well known as a painter and his galleries are located all over the area, but he is also a talented sculptor. He turned these talents into creating a statue of Dolly that would capture the wonder of this young woman before her move to Nashville when she was still a member of this small Smoky Mountain community.

The statue is located in front of the courthouse in downtown Sevierville, which is the county seat of Sevier County. The statue depicts Dolly seated on a rock playing the guitar. You can see in the statue, the face that America and the world would grow to love but you can also see the young girl that had big dreams of stardom and entertaining people as her chosen vocation.

The next time you know that you are coming to the Smokies, make sure to drop by and check out the statue of Dolly Parton. Pay your respects to the queen of country music and the lady that has made this side of the Smokies what it is today. Snap a picture, strike your best Dolly pose and remember that if you spend a little time walking around downtown Sevierville that you are, potentially, walking in the footsteps of Dolly Parton.

Sevierville Orvis to Offer FREE Fly Fishing Classes

Free fly fishing classes will be offered at Orvis in Sevierville from July to September 2012.

Ever see those Smoky Mountain pictures of people holding up huge trout in some secluded stream and wish that were you? Well, here’s your chance. If you’ve ever wanted to learn fly fishing from some of the most experienced anglers in the Smokies, from July through September, Orvis in Sevierville, TN is offering free fly fishing lessons through their retail store.

These free classes, Fly Fishing 101 and 201, are aimed at getting even more people introduced to the sport of fly fishing. These classes are a great way for families to interact with one another and make new friends in the area who also love fly fishing.

“The past two years’ success of Fly Fishing 101 is truly amazing and encouraging,” said Tom Rosenbauer, marketing director of The Orvis Company. “Based on the success of the program, we’ve been delighted to welcome many thousands of novice and advancing students to the joys of fly fishing through Fly Fishing 101 and 201. Our goal is to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to come learn more about the fascination of fly fishing. The classes are unique opportunities to enjoy a new sport and the success of the program speaks volumes to what folks are seeking in terms of healthy outdoor recreational activities for themselves and their families.”

Volunteers with Trout Unlimited and the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF) will lead the event and offer free memberships to their organization for attendees. Trout Unlimited and the FFF are two of the top organizations in the fly fishing world and offer unlimited resources to its members.

For those unfamiliar with the class, Fly Fishing 101 will consist of two parts – an hour of casting instruction followed by an hour of rigging instruction. The majority of participants are first time fly fishers, so focusing on the basic angling skills is the step in learning the sport. Fly Fishing 201 classes take the student out in the stream, and it’s a lower instructor/student ratio. There, students are helped along to the next step of fly fishing which is fly fishing in local streams and rivers – a great place to catch your first fish.

Upon completion of the course, each student will receive a $25 coupon off any purchase of $50 or more and other coupons good toward Orvis gear. Attendees will also receive a certificate for a
FREE Trout Unlimited membership and a FREE membership to the Federation of Fly Fishers—a $70 value. That’s a total package valuation at over $150.

To get started in fly fishing and to make it more accessible to start in the sport, participants will also receive discounted offers on a fishing lanyard with tools and a beginner’s rod outfit—all the basics needed to hit the water after the class.
