Top 5 Best Kept Secrets of Pigeon Forge | Cabins USA

Blog Home : Category Posts : Pigeon Forge's Best Kept Secrets

Pigeon Forge is home to some nationally known attractions. We all know about great attractions like Dollywood, The Titanic Museum, The Old Mill, and the Island, but there's something satisfying about enjoying some unique experience off the beaten path.

For vacationers that want to see a new side of Pigeon Forge or for those who just love finding a hidden treasure, we recommend checking out these 5 best kept secrets in Pigeon Forge, TN!

1. Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Dinner Show

Dixie Stampede and Hatfield & McCoy are local dinner theaters that draw big crowds, but what if you're looking for a fun show that's off the beaten path?

You'll surely want to check out the Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Dinner Show. This small theater turns out a great variety of top-notch "who dunnit" mystery shows. Better yet, this theater is famous for its delicious food, intimate setting, and hilarious audience participation.

2. J.T. Hannah's Kitchen

Ever wonder where the locals love to eat in Pigeon Forge? If you're in town and want to enjoy some local fare and history, plan a trip to J.T. Hannah's!

Not only is Hannah's one of the best non-chain restaurants right on the parkway in Pigeon Forge, but it also features some great local history. This delicious restaurant was built in honor of a local businessman who owned a warehouse and dinner in Pigeon Forge a century ago.

3. The Sevierville Air Museum

Nearby Sevierville, TN is home to the Tennessee Museum of Aviation, a large hanger with original aircraft from the earliest days of flight. With a visit to the Sevierville Air Museum, you can see historic airplanes being restored and an ever-changing lineup of aircraft. Some of the incredible airplanes you can see are:

  • A Grumman Albatross
  • North American T-28 Trojan
  • Mig 21
  • Grumman Albatross
  • P-47 Thunderbolt
  • And More!

If you love airplanes, history, or just want to visit an incredibly unique attraction, come check out the Tennessee Museum of Aviation!

4. Forbidden Caverns

You'll have to go subterranean to enjoy this best-kept secret of Pigeon Forge. The spectacular formations and fascinating development of these caves make Forbidden Caverns well worth the trip.

On a visit to this local attraction, you'll learn how this cave was used by Cherokee Indians and Smoky Mountain Moonshiners. An average tour takes around 55 minutes and gives visitors a chance to explore incredible features of cave geology.

5. Wheatlands Plantation

As one of the oldest structures in Sevier County, the Wheatlands Plantation has seen lots of history. From the Battle of Boyd's Creek to rumors of paranormal activity, a lot has happened at this beautiful Federal Style home built in the 1820s.

Owned by the Chandler Family, the Wheatlands Plantation was once one of the most prosperous farms in East Tennessee. Since this historic home is located outside of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it is definitely a lesser-known sight that's well worth experiencing.
