Knoxville is the Gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains, so you are only a brief road trip away from all the Smoky Mountains have to offer. The city offers a wide range of activities including live music, outdoor adventure, shopping, restaurants, festivals, and museums. The Museum of East Tennessee History has interactive exhibits plus regional art, textiles and Civil War artifacts. This is also one of the top producers of television programming in the country, with companies like Discovery (National Operations HQ), Jupiter Entertainment, Rivr Media, NorthSouth Productions, Lusid Media and more calling Knoxville home. No matter how you enjoy this hidden jewel, you can be sure of one thing: Knoxville will surprise you.
