It’s truly one of the best deals in Pigeon Forge, at one of the best amusement parks in the country.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and just as it was in the 19th century, the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge is still one of the most popular places in the area. It’s also one of the most photographed mills in the country. While you’re there, fill up on free samples at the candy kitchen while window-shopping the Old Mill Shopping District.

Take a hike through America’s most-visited national park. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is renowned for its diverse plant and animal life, natural beauty, and the remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture. If you’d rather experience nature without breaking a sweat, then take a drive through Cades Cove and get a peek at the historic churches and buildings. It only costs the gas to drive the loop, and a dollar donation for an optional informational pamphlet at the beginning of the tour.

The Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community is the largest group of independent artisans in the country. The community is situated on an 8-mile loop in nearby Gatlinburg and is home to dozens of unique shops filled with local photography, paintings, quilts and clothing, hand-made jewelry, artisan treats and so much more. It’s absolutely free to browse and a great way to spend a day!
