Welcome To Tennessee's Oldest Town - Jonesborough, Tennessee || 2022-93

A unique town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee, Jonesborough claims the title of Tennessee's oldest town. Jonesborough is located just outside Johnson City and is deep with Tennessee history and stories, some even haunted.
Also had a few minutes to check out Buffalo Mountain Park in Johnson City, Tennessee, a 725-acre natural resource area obtained in 1994 through a land swap with the U.S. Forest Service. The park functions as a nature preserve primarily for hiking, picnicking, and nature programs.

You make the most out of life. I'm glad i got the chance to meet a kind soul like you. Still learning about a place i have lived all my life from you. THANKS

[@Kellylynnx2]

We love our little town! So glad you visited!

[@jpickle4982]

Always loved Jonesboro, even growing up when all the other down towns were dying because of malls Jonesboro always kept its charm. Glad you showed the jewel that it is and always has been.

My favorite part about this video is how well the music was integrated with your b roll. Could watch/ listen all evening to relax. Beautiful!

[@cynthiagarland5803]

Grew up in Johnson City and often visited Jonesborough (then Jonesboro). You did murder the pronunciations of Watauga and Elizabethton, but that's okay. Nice video.

Waaa taw gah

Actually Rheatown is the oldest town in Tennessee. It just didn't stay incorporated. Rheatown is 8 years older

What do you expect from someone who isn't from Tennessee

Ok. That totally scared me! Great recovery.

I enjoyed to visit with you this nice, interesting and old town , many thanks 🖐️📸😎

[@ASouthernLadyinAppalachia]

Waa tog ah, also, ‘liz BETH ton. I moved to a mountain overlooking Watauga Lake a year ago. I still have problems pronouncing Elizabethton correctly with the BETH part being stressed instead of the LIZ. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@marleneferguson1823]

thanks, SouthernLady. We moved here last year and I'm always fumbling on 'Elizabethton'.. LizBETHton is much easier :)

'love that the court house has a Ten Commandments Plaque next to its front door! America could use more of this. 😇

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I live in Jonesborough, TN this is hilarious that I’m just running across this vid!

[@masonevans779]

Crazy to think how history repeats itself, luckily our healthcare has come a long way since the 1873. Nice video and great footage of one of my favorite towns here in Tennessee. Buffalo Mountain is also one of my favorite hiking spots in Johnson City. It’s a nice thing you didn’t do the noggin because your HeyDudes would have got wet. Since you already acknowledged it, the pronunciation for Watauga is wuh-tah-guh [wətɔɡə] Elizabethton is also pronounced Uh-liz-zah-beth-ten [ɪlɪzəbθtɪn].

Going to the Jonesborough craft show tomorrow. Our first time there since moving to Tennessee.

Try breakfast at southern restaurant in elizabethtown

[@delorestaylor8114]

And about dinner time, stroll into Big Dan’s Barbecue to enjoy some of the best smoked meat around, or Dino’s for a plate of lasagna or spaghetti and those marvelous meatballs and sauce!

[@mrhood3977]

Thank you again for another good video and I've said this in the past that your videos were a big part of helping us make that final decision to move out here. My youngest son, wife and I drove out in summer of 2021 but only got to Nashville and then my wife and I flew out to knoxville in May of 2022 to look around and met a great realtor we didn't find the perfect home but the realtor kept looking and found most of what we were looking for. Bought the house and as we were pulling up at end of street was an old cemetery from 1796 (wife wasn't to thrilled). I love history and from all around knoxville we are in some very rich history. Thank you again HOAG for another great video

Jonesborough drew us to Northeast Tennessee. We ended up in Gray.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

We moved to Johnson City a few months ago.

[@harolddenton6031]

Welcome to the area. Both my denton and my mom's jones bloodlines families have lived in northeast Tennessee since the late 1770's. My Denton's settled all around South holston lake and over by etsu campus off cherokee road. My jones first settled around bristol/ blountville tn areas before finally settling over bu jonesborough in the community of fairview. My mom went to high school in sulphur springs. My dad went to high school down in the Lamar community off cherokee road.

[@scottwilliams1567]

As always, I really enjoy your videography and commentary. Thanks

Always enjoy your videos. Missed Babs but I appreciate how you both focus on family and work. Beautiful area of Tennessee. Might be my retirement destination some day.

[@Wulfdon]

Thanks for the tour, pal. That's the part of East Tennessee I am kind of focusing on for my house. So if I end up in Jonesborough, you know who's to blame. 😂

In 1969 I attended kindergarten in that church not far from courthouse heading back to hwy 11E in jonesborough.

[@harolddenton6031]

My jones on my mom's side have been in northeast Tennessee since the 1770's.

[@harolddenton6031]

You could have gone over to Erwin or Hampton area by Watauga lake and hiked on the AT.

[@harolddenton6031]

Back up on Buffalo mountain behind church camp you can go ride motor bikes and 4 wheelers on trails. You can see them if you look on bing maps. My dad grew up.off of cherokee road about 2.miles south of cherokee elementary school.

We even had a civil war battle here in Rheatown. It was called The battle of Pugh's hill and also was called The Rheatown races. That is about less than a 1/4 mile away from my house

[@carrielassiter8455]

I didn't know that! I've lived around here all my life and never knew that. How interesting. Now, I'm going to research it. Thanks.
