in the scenic foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Greeneville lies just 35 minutes from the Tri-Cities area and 70 miles from Knoxville, TN, home of the University of Tennessee. It is also only 70 miles away from Asheville, North Carolina, home of the magnificent Biltmore Estate. But more to the point, Greeneville has its own attractions to recommend it; birthplace to Davy Crockett and home to 17th President Andrew Johnson, it is rich in the country's history. And the historic downtown area has been kept alive with antique shops, craft malls and art galleries. The beauty of the area is found in Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park and the recreational sites along the Nolichucky River.
