Fort Southwest Point

Reviewed By Teachcool - Harriman, Tennessee

Most people don't realize that "Civilization" ended at Southwest Point in the late 1700's. Explorers found that this was the last Armed fortress on their journey west. Just a simple reproduction of the original fort that is interesting if you're a history buff. Go ahead and check it out.

Annie's Thrift and Sales

Reviewed By smilingcat2016 - Roanoke, Virginia

We had stopped to visit the Rocky Top General Store in Harriman, only to find it permanently closed. Just down the street is Annie's. We were already there, so I took a look inside. There was stuff everywhere. There was caution tape around piles of stuff up to five feet high. The man working there told me that "they" buy whole households of stuff, and that as soon as one is delivered, another arrives on top of it. I was able to navigate in a limited way. I found an item of interest after moving a wheelbarrow full of handsaws. If you're a serious (and agile) picker, you could spend awhile here.

Rose Bailey Lake

Reviewed By Tysmamaw

Not used by public as you would think. Not sure if it's privately owned or public property. I have seen this lake and know a few of the close residents, but never thought about "using" the lake for recreational purposes. I have been told it used to have a high diving board and was used by the public. ??? Just don't know much about it!

Southern Appalachia Railway Museum

Reviewed By Coldgin_01 - Clarkrange, Tennessee

I was expecting more of a scenic train ride through the mountains but it was more of a very slow tour of the old k25 uranium enrichment plant. Don't get me wrong, it was interesting, but Wikipedia would have been cheaper. The price for 4 was $80, 2 popcorn and 4 can drinks, $12... For those prices, I really expected more. If it had been $10 each it may have been worth it.
