“My most vivid memory of the Smokies is meeting two of the seven Walker sisters when I was 7 years old. When the national park was established, the government let them live their life out on their land. Every magazine in
the country wrote about them.”
Greenbrier Restaurant, Gatlinburg
“This is an interesting restaurant that serves great steaks. It’s in an old log cabin that lots
of folks say is haunted.”

Arrowcraft and
Arrowmont, Gatlinburg
“The [Pi Beta Phi Women’s Fraternity] began recruiting locals to produce their crafts for sale (and teach their artisan techniques to the local children.) One thing led to another, and the Arrowcraft Shop opened for business in 1926. ... Today, [it is] one of the finest crafts shops in the Appalachians, selling ceramics, wood carvings, glass- works, metalworks, weaving, painting, and other crafts. And Arrowmont ... is one of the most sought-after crafting schools on the globe.” [From “Crafting in the Smokies,” July/August 2014]
