Places to see in ( Sevierville - USA )
Sevierville is a city in east Tennessee. To the south, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has forest trails and waterfalls. A statue of country singer Dolly Parton, a Sevierville native, is downtown by the 1896 beaux arts–style courthouse. The Tennessee Museum of Aviation has vintage aircraft, including 2 rare P-47 Thunderbolts. To the east, the Forbidden Caverns are vast underground caves with calcite formations.
In the town's eastern section, the Little Pigeon River is formed by the confluence of its East Fork and Middle Fork, both of which flow down from their sources high in the Great Smoky Mountains. Five miles (8 km) downstream to the west, the Little Pigeon absorbs its West Fork before turning north and flowing for another five miles (8 km) to its mouth along the French Broad River. Sevierville is centered on the stretch of land between these two junctions of the East and Middle Fork and the West Fork, known traditionally as Forks-of-the-Pigeon or Forks-of-the-River.
Situated in an area where the Foothills of the Great Smokies give way to the Tennessee Valley, Sevierville has long acted as a nexus between Knoxville to the north and the Appalachian towns in the mountains to the south. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is located approximately ten miles south of Sevierville.
Like other towns situated along the Parkway in Sevier County, Sevierville has reaped the benefits of the burgeoning tourism industry brought on by the development of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As of 2004, nearly 50 percent of businesses based in Sevierville were linked to tourism. For example, there are more than 2,000 hotel and motel rooms in the city that generate more than $500,000 in hotel-motel tax revenues each year.

Tuckaleechee Caverns Cave.... Townsend, TN
Tuckaleechee Caverns Cave
Carved over tens of thousands of years in one of the earth's oldest mountain chains,
Tuckaleechee Caverns at Townsend, Tenn., are known as the Greatest Site Under
the Smokies.
Estimated to be between 20 to 30 million years old, the Caverns are rich in history
Indian Legend
According to legend, the Cherokee Indians knew of the Caverns and hid in them before the white man discovered them about 1850.
All the Cherokees lived in this part of the nation until about 1840 when the United States forced them to move to Oklahoma in a bitter winter trip known as “The Trail of Tears.” Some refused to leave and eventually were granted land in western North Carolina at Cherokee.
White Man Finds Caverns
The first white men began to settle in this area in the late 1700’s and the early 1800’s. Written reports tell of the discovery of the caverns by white man about the middle of the 19th century when sawmill workers watched water from a heavy rain pour into a sink hole in the area. The whole was filled with debris but one of the men found an opening in the rock and made his way to what is now the entrance of the caverns.
Even before the caverns were discovered, there were reports of a cool spot in the valley near a sink hole. Apparently the year-around 58-degree temperatures of the Caverns were cooling those who lingered near the sink hole which later became the entrance.
Local women were reported to have taken their sewing and other “chores” which could be moved easily to the opening in the hot summer months to benefit from the cooling breezes. Many children took their summer naps there. These same breezes now are piped into the gift shop and visitor center to help air-condition the buildings.
A crystal clear stream flows through the length of the caverns, draining much of the surface water from a small Alpine cove, Dry Valley, located directly above part of the caverns. The valley for its name long before it was known why the water disappeared quickly following heavy rains.
The caverns were opened to the public for a year in 1931 and then closed because of the Depression.
As young boys, W.E. “Bill” Vananda and Harry Myers of Townsend played near the entrance to the caverns and frequently ventured into them. While students at Maryville College in 1949, they got to talking about the feasibility of opening the cave to the public.
When Associated Press Pulitzer Prize Winning columnist Hal Boyle interviewed them about 1960, Myers recalled “We played Tom Sawyer in the main passage as kids. We explored it for three-quarters of a mile, sometimes wriggling on our bellies, and lighting our way with homemade lamps – pop bottles filled with kerosene.”
And over a cup of coffee they decided they would try to turn the cavers into a tourist attraction. Nobody would lend them money. Both were married and had two children. They went to Alaska and labored on construction jobs to raise funds.
After fours years of lonely toil – the two men had carried in hundreds of tons of sand, cement and gravel on their backs to build steps and passageways – they opened the cave in 1953.
Then came the big event when the Big Room was discovered in 1954 by members of the National Speleological Society. The group, headed by Burt H. Denton Jr. of Nashville, was part of the Tennessee Geological Cave Survey. Now open to the public as part of the mile-long guided tour, the big room is more than 400 feet long, 300 feet across, and 150 feet deep. (Mammoth Cave in Kentucky has maximum ceiling heights of only about 120 feet). The Big Room has stalagmites up to 24 feet high.
In 1955, the Big Room was opened to the public at the same time electric lights were added, eliminating the use of kerosene lanterns used to show the scenic beauty of the underground world.
The survey team remarked it had seen nothing as spectacular as Tuckaleechee Caverns east of Carlsbad Cavers in New Mexico.
A few months later, another group of spelunkers (cave explorers) discovered another beautiful room near the Big Room but it couldn’t be opened to the public without destroying part of the Caverns.
The newest section opened to the public includes the 200-foot high Silver Falls which is a double waterfall. Only the lower section may be fully viewed but visitors can look into a lighted upper room where the upper falls is located.
On April 9, 1958, the Caverns hosted about 65 members of the National Speliological Society, for a dinner. John and the late Norma Wilson of Wilson’s Hillbilly Restaurant served the meal on white tablecloths beneath the Smokies. The spelunkers were attending a national convention in the area.
Bill Vananda and his wife, Golden, and Harry Myers and his wife, Nita, owned and operated the caverns until 1982. Each couple ran the business on alternate days from April through October, seven days a week. The Myers sold their interest in the Caverns to the Vanandas in 1982.
It is one of the 8,350 known caves in Tennessee.
