Dandridge Tennessee History Walk Tinsley Bible Soda Fountain Second Oldest Town 2022

[@JeffreyLangdon]

Dandridge is our new home, we bought a beautiful 1910 farmhouse last April. We really enjoyed the video, highlighting our quiet, and historical little town. By the way, our "Meet the Neighbors" BBQ last June will be an annual event, we would love to have you back again.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Sounds great! thanks Jeffrey

[@TheHarleyhillbilly]

Where did you live before you moved to Dandridge?

[@HugoMartinez-gu4ot]

We lived there for six years. Great little town to raise your family. Our kids grew up there and loved it. Thought them family and life values.Our neighbors were the best. Elderly couple but the sweetest ever.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

I totally agree! love small towns thanks Hugo

[@lizcortez4897]

Love…Love…Love….I just love when y’all visit small towns…and this one was right up there😊💕..I love when small towns aren’t touched, shows the beauty and history…Thank you so much for this fun little trip and look forward to many more..

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks Liz

[@koalabear6722]

I too love old neat historical and nostalgic towns. They sure don't build houses like that anymore with such character! Oh yes, more videos like this please! 🙂

[@jennifer-marie]

I love that beautiful little town! It is close enough to Pigeon Forge, but far enough to not have to deal with the traffic, etc.

[@melissabibby7310]

I’m a Cajun from Louisiana. We visited the area on vacation 12 years ago and loved the area. So much so we bought a second home in Dandridge. We love the mountains and heritage and culture of East Tennessee. It was so cool that you guys visited our little town. Tinsley Bible is a step back to a much simpler time!! Watch all of y’all’s videos . Thanks.

We really enjoyed this historical look at Dandridge, TN! We would be interested in more videos of this type. It is important that our historical buildings and monuments be preserved so that future generations can learn from the past.

I really enjoyed the tour of Dandridge. We come to the Smokies on 92 off of I-40. I love driving through Dandridge and have wondered what it's like inside of the drug store. Thanks for showing us,and eating lunch at their cozy restaurant. A neighboring town has a drug store that had a soda fountain. Sadly the soda fountain restaurant closed down about 5 years ago for lack of business. There is still a gift shop and pharmacy in the building. The drug store area closed due to WalMart opening a few miles from the store. People started shopping there instead of the old drug store. Their gift shop is doing good as well as the pharmacy.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

I’m from Dandridge and still love it there. Tinsley-Bible Drug Store is famous for its Bible burger and Ms Peggy’s crockpot soups & chili. The waitress sign in your video I’m sure referenced Ms Peggy. She worked there for as long as I can remember. My uncle was so proud that his 1958 Maury HS class pic hangs behind the cash register.The Merchantile was originally Gass General Store. You could buy anything from animal lineament to embroidery thread in there as well as clothing. I have so many good memories from Dandridge. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks, Jane, for sharing your memories always loved Dandridge
