@j_p_morris: I bet you don’t know these facts about Tennessee’s oldest town… 👇🇺🇸 Today, I spent America’s 250th birthday exploring Jonesborough, Tennessee, and I learned some things that surprised me: 🇺🇸 It was founded in 1779, making it Tennessee’s oldest town. 📖 It’s officially known as the Storytelling Capital of the World, thanks to its nationally recognized storytelling festivals and the International Storytelling Center. 🏛️ Many of the downtown buildings date back to the late 1700s and early 1800s, making it feel like you’re stepping into another century. ☕ Today the streets were filled with local artists, food vendors, coffee shops, live music, and even a James Madison reenactor sharing stories from the founding era. 🚶 It’s an easy day trip if you’re exploring East Tennessee and looking for somewhere that’s both charming and full of history. Save this for your next Tennessee road trip, and send it to someone who loves discovering hidden historic towns! 🤓 #hiddengems #Tennessee #EastTennessee #traveltok #america250 @TN’s Oldest Town

99% of the time everything in Jonesborough is closed buy 5 there's nothing to see here. And everything is way overpriced

I did know these facts about Jonesborough because I lived here for 4 years before moving to Erwin but I work right outside of Jonesborough now. It’s such a great little town. The Lollipop Shop is the best as they have a lot of the hard to find candies from my childhood.
