    I am from Canada in New Brunswick (province just above Maine. My daughter lives in Knoxville now but when she first went down there to work, one of the first places she lived was in Greenville. I visited her there a few times. I have driven to Tn almost every year since she went down in 96 but have become somewhat disabled in the last few years so your videos mean a lot to me. Very nostalgic as I’ve been to many many of the places that you film in. Thanks.

    Thanks for the video. I love seeing the history of our country. I feel like more of our young people would value where they live if they could hear about and see so many places like this. So grateful to live in the USA 🇺🇸. We all have a history some good some bad. You learn from the bad and change it and the good you keep it going. So thanks for giving us a little bit of history today. ❤️🙏

    My Lowry ancestors came to Greeneville area in 1770 and farmed land until beginning of Civil War, leaving and moving to Illinois....Just found this out, so thanks for the great tour of the area. The mountains and countryside is beautiful. Just a few miles down the road is North Carolina and Indian territory.

    Thank you so much for going to Greenville. The 1st movie I've ever seen in a theater was at the capital theater. It was 1986 carebears the movie lol. They even do like Broadway Type plays there nowadays. You should have checked out the cannonball stuck into the side of the building there in town I believe it's the old Post Office. And the oldest jail in Tennessee is right there in town too. It's kind of creepy they used it all the way up to the early 1980's. I've heard stories of old timers that had to stay in there. In 3rd grade I lived right next to the cemetery. I used to walk the wall around it all the time as a kid. Thanks for showing me one of my favorite views from the top. Brings back a lot of memories. I got to take my wife there over the summer. Andrew Johnson told one of his slaves that's the place he wanted to be buried because of that view. If you guys ever go back again you should seriously think about going up Viking mountain trail off the Asheville highway. There was a old ski resort from the seventies at the tip top. It's like the smokey mountains without the traffic. No traffic Lol Great video hope to meet you guys someday. I too am a Yankee that lived in the South for a short time as a child And I love to come back and visit

    Yay, you made to to my neck of the woods. My neighbor use to be a volunteer ranger at the Andrew Johnson house. If traffic isn't super bad, it's not a bad place to ride ebikes around. But if it's a busy time, it's better to walk. Also, my great grandparents got married in the back of a Model T Ford at the Andrew Johnson cemetery. Weird place to get married, but that's the story I've been told! Good video!

    Great video! We move to Greeneville a little over five years ago from NC and it was the best decision we ever made! East TN has always had a very special place in our hearts even before we moved here. But Greenville is so special to us now; our own little slice of heaven here on earth. The people in this town really do take pride in it, and are so devoted to making it great. There are so many special things that happen here throughout the year, but especially around any given holiday. Between all of the different parades, to the the Christmas Tree lighting at the Courthouse, the lighted candle walks and just the way everyone come together...as my husband has said since we first moved here...our own little Hallmark town that we live in now! We are so blessed!!!
    We get to Sevierville about once a month, but never seem to run into you guys. Next time you are headed this way, look me up on Facebook and maybe we can meet up and grab a bite to eat somewhere...no cameras! :)

    You're kind of off about about Franklin. A section of what is now northeastern Tennessee was up for consideration for entering into the union as the State of Franklin. It was originally part of North Carolina. Obviously, it never came to fruition and that section was absorbed back into North Carolina, and later, what became Tennessee.

    I just wanted to let you know, that me n My Granddaughter enjoy watching y'all's videos, she loves The Smoky Mountains, so she has found a couple of channels,( she found y'all first) that WE HAVE TO WATCH, all the time lol, she also enjoys,The Smoky Mountain Family as well bc they have their girls so she enjoys them too. But when I last brought her to GBurg, EVERY yellow jeep she saw, she would rubber neck to see if it was you guys. I have been planning on just me n her visiting again in March, (Good Lord Willing) we planned one this past summer BUT life happened and we didn't make it, she is crazy Abt Dolly and I'm gonna try my best to bring her the 1st weekend in March for 3 days she has BEGGED N BEGGED for me to take her to The Dolly Stampede, she has BEGGED to go to Dollywood but we can't swing that, I wished I could for her but maybe one day. We brought her in 2021 but for some reason they only had so many seats @ The Stampede, the other day she had her note pad out, and writing down the time line for our trip ( only 9 y.o) , she has written down Try to find "the" yellow jeep for y'all and white jeep for TSMF. Lol. I wanted to leave a comment, bc she wanted me to tag or try to tag y'all in a video. Stay Blessed and Ty Both for everything y'all do, I hate some ppl can be so rude, but know the goodness outweighs the Bad. God Bless you Both.
