This is one of my favorite things to do. Packed with so much history and hands on experiences. Detailed historic information on some of the most notorious criminals, victims, law enforcement, forensic science, crime prevention and more. Allow yourself at least 2.5 hours to tour the Museum. You won't regret it. You will walk out with so much more knowledge and facts not to mention a fun time.

Sightseeing

Anakeesta in Gatlinburg is a must see and do. Beginning with the skylift that takes you to the top of the mountain the views are spectacular. Read the history of the mountains and stop by the shops and browse. Also on top of Anakeesta is a roller coaster, zip line and swinging walking bridges. This place is a one of a kind. You will be sad if you miss out on this during your vacation.

Steeped in so much history you can read the placards as you walk or drive by.

This is the highest mountain in the Smokies and located half in Tennessee and half in North Carolina. It is a favorite must see spot in the GSMNP. The half mile hike from the parking area to the observation tower can be strenuous. However the views of the mountains from the observation tower are absolutely amazing. THIS IS A MUST SEE!!

This family owned restaurant is a beautiful place to go for a romantic night out or just for a nice dining experience. Fantastic Food and the owner usually greets each guest in the restaurant by stopping by your table or giving the ladies a rose. The magnificent weeping willow tree out front that is lit up makes it look like rain pouring down through the tree. Not to mention the water that runs down the tin roof makes a soothing and romantic dining experience. Also the nightly entertain is top notch. THIS IS A LOCAL FAVORITE!
