If you are a history buff, there's the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge. Plus, there are several Civil War sites and battlefields. Lastly, if you love music, Tennessee is your place: There’s Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley; Dolly Parton's theme park Dollywood; Beale Street, renowned as the Home of the Blues and the true birthplace of Rock n Roll; and Music City in Nashville, where you can find Music Row, the historic Grand Ole Opry, the Johnny Cash Museum, and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
