Outside of the festivals and special events in Sevierville, our hometown is your home away from home in the Smoky Mountains. Our quaint streets give visitors respite amid the action-packed attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. In view of our town’s interesting past, our revitalization honors the history and heritage of Sevierville.

Follow the sidewalks on a self-guided walking tour to find unusual stories of Sevierville’s interesting past. The “Slow & Easy” passed right through downtown to deliver goods and visitors to the Smoky Mountains. In fact, the train stopped right in front of Trotter’s Ford Motor Co to unload brand new cars. However, today the building is home to Trotter’s Whole Hog BBQ. With this in mind, dine and discover a taste of the past.

To work up an appetite, challenge the family to Duckpin bowling or a few rounds of vintage gaming at The Pines Downtown. Previously, the Pines Theater hosted live entertainment and motion pictures.

Plus, multiple private rooms and special event spaces give groups a comfy place to gather.
