Just a short drive from Johnson City is Tennessee’s oldest town; Jonesborough! Rich in regional cultural and historical heritage, a walk along Main Street alludes to the days of classic historic icons such as Daniel Boone and David Crockett, the founding of the State of Franklin, and the publication of the Emancipator in the fight to abolish slavery. After partaking of the city’s historical attractions, visitors can enjoy a variety of local and specialty retailers, including Broyles Florist, The Crafty Peddler, Jonesborough Antique Mart, Jonesborough General Store & Eatery, The Lollipop Shop, Sewing Bee, Tennessee Quilts, and more.
