Great video👍🏼❤️
Thanks for the video 📸 of Jonesborough
Been there grew up in Elizabethton 😊
I love touring these old towns. 👍❤
The best!
Love the old towns. The 3 stars in the circle is the Tennessee state flag. The state seal is totally different.
So interesting!! I did not remember that the original name was Franklin. Very cool!! Thanks for sharing the video with us❤ 😊☀️
You are so welcome!
Nice sweet hometown. Thank you for taking us with you today! 😊
Thank you too
❤
This is what America is all about small towns and main streets love the atmosphere I use to live in a small town I miss it great job guys on the video
😃👍❤️
Beautiful tour! I have to do that tour one day. Yeah, Franklin was a state at one time. Andrew Jackson has history down here in Florida as well with the First and Second Seminole Wars. I’ve been to Mackinaw City in Michigan. I took 1-75 all the way up to the Canadian border(Sault St. Marie) I did things on the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. I never went to Makinac Island, though.
Definitely need to explore this old town. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Any time
I love these old towns! One thing y’all definitely need go do is the Blennerhassett Island in WV. It’s absolutely amazing and one of the largest islands on the Ohio river. I think it would be great content and it has cool history.
I love that this town is alive and well. All store fronts filled with commerce and not empty like so much in our country. Go Tennessee 😊
Such a lovely place ,thanks for sharing ,watching from south east Ireland
Thanks for visiting
Loved the video! We stayed at a B&B in Jonesborough several years ago. Great experience. I’d like to do the story telling contest. Never been to one.
That is awesome!
Thanks for sharing this video trip with us. Very informative of the area. We hope to get out there sometime soon. You all did a great job with this video.
😃❤️👍
14:10 That's my Schwinn bike I got for Christmas 1969! I still have it in my garage. It's a little rusty and worn but can be restored.
That's awesome 👌
We are in Pigeon Forge now. We were hoping we would have a chance to see you out and about. We love your VLOGS and watch them all.
Awesome! Thank you!
Sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch Great video as always

My sister & I went to Jonesborough, Tn. on Halloween night Oct.31 2023, the town had a Halloween Fright Night Festival & lite up Pumpkins all through out the town, had a haunted house, gave out free candy, ect.
We went into the Lollipop Candy Store, such a cute little store. We had a wonderful time in Jonesborough Tn.
I love seeing different parts of Tennessee. ❤
I didn't know that Tennessee 😊 was Franklin either one my relatives lives in Jonesborough
I grew up not far from this beautiful little town. Their festivals are lots of fun. I love the history there and btw, it's also haunted!
Great video
Thanks!
Will and Dawn, what a beautiful old town! I had to pause your video earlier and see what the oldest town in Oklahoma was. What absolutely beautiful old buildings and very interesting too! Really enjoyed your video and the history of the town! Can't wait till your next vlog. Love y'all!❤️
So cool!
Love this video. And Dawn that was pretty funny you saying something about a filter for your Eureka . Ha ha
😁
Nice town, I didn't know Tennessee was originally called Franklin, that is so cool to know. I love all those little shops 💕
It was called the State of Franklin and was once part of North Carolina down to about Dandridge Tenn I think ..
My ancestors who was Scot Irish and English settled here in 1700’s ..The Scot Irish loved it because it reminded them of home .
So cool!
This little town looks so nice.
👋😃
Love these road trips!! Have been through there but didn't stop. Need to go back for sure!❤
😃👍❤️
Wow so cool! That’s my home town I grew up in. Sure has changed since I left there in 1969. I have been hoping you guys would visit Jonesboro or Jonesborough as the spell it now.
Will go to rocky mount it was the capital of the southwest territory..Not far from Jonesborugh.Lots of history here in East Tennessee.
Wow it’s so very quiet place ❤
Thank you watching it 🫶🏻❤️

What a quaint little town, very interesting. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the tour
Glad you enjoyed it
Love seeing small towns. Thx Will and Dawn. 😊
More to come!
We just got home from vacay in Smokies everything was great that you have recommended. We rented a cabin and Wednesday "pooper" backed up, human waste in downstairs bathtub when we called rental maintenance they said "Well it's Wednesday and you leave on Friday so we don't see a problem" YUK! RENTERS BEWARE! make sure you have their info , it was fixed later that day but wasted our day in Gatlinburg waiting for them. Keep doing what you do.
Thank you for sharing this information with us 😊
I've been down and out for about 4 days sick soo I'm just catching up on videos and lives .. Hope you guys had a great saint Patrick's Day and you've had a blessed day . I enjoyed this video of this beautiful historical town.. ❤😊
Happy saint patrick's day
Will I have to agree with you that quilt was absolutely amazing. I am so amazed about just how much history a person could find out about if we would just slow down and take a look around at some of the small towns and walk through them like you guys do and learn the history of them it's amazing what a person could learn. I love your tours of the small towns. Great video
Thank you 😃❤️👍

Hello will and dawn ❤❤❤
Hello 😃👍❤️
Thank you so much for this video. My first time down to the Smoky Mountains was the summer of 92 when I was a kid. On the way down we stopped in that town and actually ate dinner at the Parson's Table. It is sad to see it is closed now but nice to be able to relive my memories. I think I still have a matchbook we took from it as a souvenirs all those years ago.
cute town!
Glad you got to visit my Hometown.The Jackson Theatre in Jonesborough, Tennessee, is actually a historic playhouse and the home of the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre. Built in 1927, the theater has been a cornerstone of the community for generations, hosting a variety of productions, from classic plays and musicals to contemporary works.
The theater is being lovingly restored and renovated. You should try to catch a performance sometime. Everything they do is outstanding. They just finished a production of “Beautiful, the Carole King Story” and every show sold out. There next production is “The Play that Goes Wrong”
I saw the name John Sevier on one of those historical signs you shared in the video and had to look him up and here is what I found...... Sevierville (Severe ville) is named for John Sevier, one of the leading figures in the history of Tennessee. Sevier was a frontiersman, soldier, war hero and politician who served under George Washington in the American Revolution and distinguished himself at the battle of King’s Mountain.
In 1784, Sevier became the first governor of the State of Franklin, a new state that had been carved out of the land around Watauga. Later, Franklin because part of North Carolina and John Sevier was accused of treason for resisting the annexation.
When the State of Tennessee was formed in 1796, Sevier became its first governor, serving from 1796 until 1801 and again from 1803 until 1809. Sevier later served as a state senator from 1809 until 1811 and was a member of the US House of Representatives in 1811.
Nicknamed “Nolichucky Jack” for his exploits along the Nolichucky River, Sevier died in Georgia during a boundary negotiation with Creek Indians in 1815.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Blair witch, Ghost stories, ghost tours, Goth Church, ect, sounds Evil to me.
Great video guys!
Not to far from Jonesboro is Rogersville. It is also a meet old town that reminds you of Jonesboro. It's on the North Side of I-81.
Looks like a quaint little place. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for coming to my hometown😊 Great video!
Very cool, small town America feel!
Will! Love this video but if you think Jackson was a great Tennessean, I recommend doing the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail.
Thank you
The Rock was for you to take home with a little paper underneath it some people rehide it but it’s up to you what you do with it. I’m very close to Jonesboro love it…even though I’m a 20 minute drive me and my husband are gonna go to a bed-and-breakfast there. They have several…the Halloween events are amazing. It’s like being in a small town that you see on TV. my aunt used to live really close to downtown and we would walk there all the time when I was little..they have a couple of little cafés that are really good too and the kids go on field trips to the lollipop shop a lot around here. Jonesboro Days is really cool. You guys should go to one.
Thank you
I’ve traveled on business to Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville countless times…but had no idea of all these magical small towns in Tennessee. Thank you guys for shining a light on them!!
😃❤️👍
