Fontana Village Resort & Marina

Knoxville's Bennett Galleries has been consistently voted the city's favorite art gallery. The enterprise was established in 1976 as a custom frame shop and it evolved into a place where artists could express themselves both on canvas as well as in the areas of interior design and even jewelry creation. All of these spheres are seamlessly combined, as Bennett Galleries not only secures some of the area's most impressive art, they also can turn a room in your house into a work of art, too.

The kids will love learning about flowers, plants and all the other natural wonders that inhabit the Knoxville Botanical Gardens and Arboretum. This 44-acre garden features an historic landscape that is adorned with foliage and plants that are not only indigenous to the area, but also combine to create a natural oasis that is as relaxing as it is beautiful. There is also a plant nursery on site that houses even more picturesque greenery.

A truly compelling cross-section of history is collected at the Frank H. McClung Museum. You'll want to set aside a whole afternoon to take in the various exhibits that range from extensive collections in archeology, natural history, anthropology, medicine, art, and local history. See special presentations and pieces that focus on the area's prehistoric times all the way to the present. The incredibly well-thought out exhibits and pieces make this far-reaching history lesson one that you will never forget.
