Beautiful tour of Jonesborough, TN and a special thanks to Bob Dunn who helped us open our hearts and minds to the wonderful history of Jonesborough this nation's oldest town in TN. Thank you once again Mike and Karen for bringing us along on an adventure that is close to your hearts and ours. God Blessings upon all his children.
We enjoyed the video of beautiful Jonesbrough. We love visiting for a quick lunch or a little antique shopping. Bob did a great job showing all the history and telling all the stories. We live in Bristol. Come and visit our downtown sometime.
Thank you very much Mr. Bob for the wonderful tour of Jonesborough. My mother grew up there and it is great to be able to see it. I learned things that I did not know. Jonesborough is like a picture book town. Jonesborough is wonderful. I miss seeing the historic Andrew Jackson Hotel. To the couple who does the videos, thank you very much. They are very interesting. I have been to Cherokee twice, years ago. I see how much it has grown.
What an awesome little throwback in time beautiful town Bob’s pretty good storyteller thanks for taking us along on this awesome journey hope you have a wonderful weekend
Thank you Bob for your knowledge of that nice town. History is very important for the future generations. We truly enjoyed you and this tour. ❤ Tennessee is a wonderful place to be. William
Hi Karen and Mike!!! I absolutely love Jonesborough! It is one of my favorite towns! Thank you Mr. Dunn for such a wonderful history lesson. I will make sure to book a tour the next time I'm in town.
Very enjoyable tour of Jonesborough. Thank you Bob for taking us on the tour. I never knew about the Haint blue porch ceiling paint. That was quite interesting. I love seeing buildings being preserved for everyone to enjoy in the future. The theater is going to be lovely after its restoration.
It's such a pleasure watching your fun channel grow and grow. We love your Gatlinburg and area episodes but this ones as must fun to watch. Made us want to visit Jonesborough soon. The tour was great. Would have loved to hear about eateries too, but was still well worth the watching from start to finish. Best Wishes, James and Kim
Thank you James & Kim. We may go back sometime just for a video on all the places to eat. And there is a video in our library from the first time we filmed there and ate at Main Street Cafe outside.
I really love the history of all this I would like to see more and hear more but I understand that you keep it for other people to go find for themselves
come on down for a visit! us locals are more than happy to show you around. there’s so much to explore and learn about. not to mention the great food at main street diner, and awesome ice cream!
Very interesting tour ! I love the old buildings , especially that gorgeous church. Thank you to Bob the Tour Guide. You did a great job. We’d like to visit your town someday. It looks like a neat little place. Will you guys be doing a video with the restaurants , and also wondering if the town has a bookstore ? Thank you.
Hey Julie, the gift shop at the story telling building has a bookstore. And we may go back and do restaurants. Also in our library, our first Jonesborough video, we ate outside at Main Street Cafe.
5:04 I’ve always had an interest in the Jonesborough bells thanks I’m gonna have to go down on a Sunday and check it out I know the courthouse has a bell that goes off every hour too I’ve heard it before but never the church bells
Enjoyed this tour! We were very interested in learning about Jonesborough Y'all do a great job on this channel! Best regards to Bob! He was totally in character! Stay hydrated! 💧💦💜
thanks for another great show guys luv the history of the old town enjoyed listening to MR BOB telling stories about the history and events that took place in JONESBOROUGH by the way luv the dress that KAREN was wearing she looked cute in it kinda like when i wear my shorty shorts LOL a nice place to get out and stretch you legs GOD BLESS b safe
Hey you were right down the street from me!!! lol - Great job! Will you be doing a shopping in Jonesborough as as well and some eating?!?!??! Some of the best! Great Video! Thank you =)
Thank you Bob, very interesting video about Jonesboro TN. I really enjoyed it. I've been to Jonesborough, Tn. several times before. I live in the Piedmont of NC.
Mike and Karen, Awesome video! Absolutely loved it. Bob was great! Just the video I needed. Watched it while getting ready for my daughter’s wedding today. Thanks!
love the passion you all have for my hometown. I was born and raised in the second oldest house in Jonesborough. right behind the train tracks. It’s a two story blue house (they painted it white recently) and you can see it clearly when driving into jonesborough. I feel so proud to be from this historic little town! As a kid my parents would walk me from our house down to the park nearby, and then onto main street where we would stop and see the lollipop shop, along with the glass shop and fabric shop for mom! my first birthday party was at the lollipop shop! To this day, every year for my birthday I take my family to eat at main street diner, and afterwards we go to the lollipop shop where my mom STILL buys me my favorite candy I can find at 20 years old! I love my little historic town
Thank you for this wonderful video and tour. My wife and I are actually driving down to visit Jonesborough, as well as some other places in East Tennessee, next week. This video gave some great insight. Thank you!
Thanks Bob, I especially liked the story about the Haint Blue porch paint. We’ve always had problems with birds wanting to build their nest on our porch, maybe not now though!
Thank you so much for going outside of the " commercial and touristy" area of the Smokies! We have been visiting for 30+ yrs and ( GOD willing and he knows our hearts desire) hopefully moving to East Tn one day! The past couple years we have started exploring more out of PF/Gatlinburg area and always looking for more gems to explore! You have added to my list again!! :) :) Thanks again for sharing!! Have a great 4th of July!! :) :) Thanks Bob for a awesome tour!! :)
You’re so welcome, Lisa! We love East TN and hope you get to visit the special town of Jonesborough! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Happy 4th and God bless!
not many people know about the historic town of jonesborough! as a lifelong resident who grew up in the second oldest house, I plan to teach my kids and their kids about this town! there’s just something about an afternoon walk through jonesborough that I love so so much. We rented our house from mayor baxter, one of the greatest men I ever knew. he sadly passed away years ago, but us locals will never forget the impact that he had on our town.
Tri-Cities area is home for me, we've been living in middle TN for at least 20 years though, and I have been to Jonesborough at least one thousand times over the years, but some of the stuff Bob shared I never even knew. See, there is always so much more than we know about where we live. Well done, Bob. Great information.
Great tour and video! I can't think of Jonesborough without thinking of Doc McConnell and his Old Time Medicine Show. The Jonesborough Repertory Theatre does great performances.
What an enjoyable tour! Mr. Bob is a wealth of information. We have visited Jonesborough twice from Akron, Ohio but you are so right…without a personal tour one wouldn’t know much about the marvelous local history. Now I want to come back again!! Thank you, Mr. Dunn for the delightful mix of facts & history, delivered in a very interesting style!
I loved this video! An amazing tour of historic Jonesborough - it was so fun and informative. Thank you to tour guide Bob Dunn. Thank you Mike and Karen for this awesome video.
Bob gave a great tour with lots of information on 10 of the historical buildings in Jonesborough. Wayne and I want to put this on our list of places to go visit, Thank You!
I have a sister who's family lives in Mountain City and have been through Jonesboro but never taken the tour but next time we are up that way we are going to try to get a tour in . Thanks for the reviews.
Interesting up to date tour. I didn't know Bob when I lived there but he seems nice. John Rose was one of the original entertainers during Jonesborough days and he had a good voice I remember. Unless they've torn it down the original one room jail I thought was worth seeing. While I lived there the town briefly changed its spelling to Jonesboro. Lyle Haw's owned a grocery store next to the Dairy Queen on the main road and operated for many years before Johnson City expanded pretty much to the city limits. Haw's Market sold to the Meyers family in 1983 and shut down permanently that same year. No alchohol was ever sold in the town during my time and a distillery wasn't even a dream. Lyle was also the mayor for a time then his wife ran against him and won. I rented a 2 bedroom apt over the grocery store for 85 dollars a month and ran the meat dept. while I was still in college. I loved it there.
How neat, Ray! Thanks for sharing such interesting info and your personal experience, too. Funny Lyle’s wife beat him out as mayor. And your apartment sure was at a good price! 😀 We enjoyed reading this!
@@FridaysForever sorry it took me so long to respond. I really enjoyed your video, many memories for me. It looks like it has changed alot, not bigger but interest has brought in new people that want to preserve history and I'm glad for that. I like what your doing and you have a good partner.
Let me know if I can assist you in any way, I have lived in Bristol, Jonesborough, Dunlap, Nashville, Crossville, Bluff City and Grey. I'm not from here I'm one of those hated yankee's that moved to Florida in the 60's and bounced around the country the rest of my life. No home but many fond memories.
I am guessing you and your wife are finding common ground and a common interest. I hope to do the same some day, Funny the biggest disappointment was trip to Saint Augustine Florida. Beautiful place, not all built up and they have preserved much of the original downtown but what I went there for was drinking from the fountain of youth, and they had a hand painted sign on plywood and handed out Dixie cups of water to drink. The trip to silver springs to do glass bottom boat rides over one of Johnny Wismellers sets was sort of the same, algee hindered the view and I know they dumped money into silver springs since then so I'm sure it's worth a visit now. I'm sure we could swap stories lol

This is so awesome! I love looking at old towns like this. History has always fascinated me.
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks Bob nice tour
Great tour and video! I can't think of Jonesborough without thinking of Doc McConnell and his Old Time Medicine Show. The Jonesborough Repertory Theatre does great performances.
That’s true, Spaceman Dudley. Remember that well.
What an enjoyable tour! Mr. Bob is a wealth of information. We have visited Jonesborough twice from Akron, Ohio but you are so right…without a personal tour one wouldn’t know much about the marvelous local history. Now I want to come back again!!

Interesting up to date tour. I didn't know Bob when I lived there but he seems nice. John Rose was one of the original entertainers during Jonesborough days and he had a good voice I remember. Unless they've torn it down the original one room jail I thought was worth seeing. While I lived there the town briefly changed its spelling to Jonesboro.
