First, a little history…
Tennessee has a rich Native American history. The area was home to Cherokee and Chickasaw tribes, leaving behind a great legacy that is still represented today. The first European explorers in the area were Spanish. From the beginning, Tennessee faced a political divide that impacted its economy. It was initially a part of North Carolina and later became a part of the Southwest territory. It was finally admitted to the union as the 16th state of America in 1796.

The Titanic Museum, Pigeon Forge
The Titanic Museum is one of its kind in the world. A museum tour makes you feel like RMS Titanic has come to life. Although it is not even half the size of the original ship, the same shape and a collection of more than four hundred artifacts make the visitors feel as if they have boarded the actual boat. A minimum of two hours are needed to tour the whole museum. The events can be followed chronologically, where you learn about the ship’s design and the artisans and laborers who constructed it.
