Explore Knoxville

There’s just something about a small town—and the walkability of it, isn’t there? These quaint towns, rich with history here in the Knoxville area, are always worth mentioning—and worth adding to your list of places to visit when you’re in town.

This month, we visited three new-to-us places we’ve been eager to try: an ice cream shop in Powell, the recently reinvented creamery on the UT campus, and a beloved local bakery that’s been on our radar for a while.

This month, we’re taking you around Knoxville—from far north Knox County to East Knoxville and just inside the Anderson County line. We’ve met so many great people and have plenty of stories to share.
