Fiber Arts Class & Exploring Jonesborough TN!

Saturday, July 6th -- Miss Carolyn (campground owner) was offering a free spinning class for campground residents and I attended that. It was a 2-hour session, and I had a great time. It set my tooth even more to learn how to do that when I get back home. 

​Sunday, July 7th -- We took off late for Jonesborough, founded in 1779 and also known as "Tennessee's Oldest Town". We visited the visitors center museum, and then the Chester Inn Museum, both of which were awesome.  The Chester Inn was built in 1797 by Dr. William Chester and was doubled in size shortly after.

The bottom floor (street or basement level) of the Chester Inn is currently a museum of local history. They also have 3 rooms upstairs restored to around 1900-ish looks. All is free to view!

The downtown area of Jonesborough was very cute and we really enjoyed that. We walked around the downtown area for a little bit, checking out all the different shops and eateries.

There is a park just a little ways outside of town (Persimmon Ridge Park) that not only has a huge water park (not free), but also had ball fields and hiking trails and pavilions. We took General on the hiking trails and even ran into a creek which he played in for a bit. Fun for all! Then back home.
