George A. Dickel Distillery
Normandy, TN
|
You won’t find Cascade Hollow on most maps. Nestled on the Highland Rim of the Cumberland Plateau, you will find us about halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga. The ancient limestone shelf of this plateau provides water than runs fresh and clear from the nearby Cascade Springs, and it made the perfect spot to build a distillery.
In 1870, George A. Dickel used this same pure water to distill his first bottle of Tennessee Whisky in Cascade Hollow as well as many unique techniques when producing his premium whisky. Today, George Dickel Tennessee Whisky is still handcrafted with the same quality and attention to detail that ensures that each drop of George Dickel is as remarkable now as it was when the first batch was made.

Mayfield Dairy Farms (Athens, TN)
Athens, TN
|
Mayfield Dairy Farms began when my grandfather, T. B. Mayfield, established Live Oak Farms in 1912. He purchased 45 Jersey cows and began to sell the milk to homes in Athens, Tennessee. In the early 20's, my grandfather built the first milk plant in our area capable of pasteurizing milk. He purchased a ten-gallon ice cream freezer in 1923 and began making ice cream. Since these humble beginnings, people in East Tennessee and the Southeast have enjoyed top quality Mayfield dairy products.
Visit us at a Mayfield Visitor Center in Athens, Tennessee, or Braselton, Georgia. Browse the Mayfield gift shop and take a free and educational plant tour. It’s fun for the family or a perfect field trip for schools, church groups and other organization...Click here for more details...

Saturn Corporation
Spring Hill, TN
|
Saturn was created with one simple idea: to put people first. In the beginning, our focus was on creating a different kind of company, one dedicated to finding better ways for people to work together to design, build and sell cars. A car company that talks straight does what it promises and delivers solid value at a fair price.
After eleven years, we feel pretty good about our roots. In fact, it seems a few more car manufacturers are catching on; taking better care of their employees and paying more attention to their customers' needs. This also makes us feel pretty good.
As we look forward, our focus on people continues to evolve. Today, we are dedicated to designing vehicles that complement our customers' daily lives - vehicles th...Click here for more details...

The Old Mill
Pigeon Forge, TN

Located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, the Old Mill is one of the most photographed in the country and over 1,000,000 visitors make a stop at this Smoky Mountain landmark each year.

From an award-winning restaurant that serves the best in traditional southern fare (using the Mill's own fresh-ground grains, of course), to pottery and sculptures formed and fired on-site, to old-fashioned candy made with the finest of ingredients, the folks at the Old Mill...Click here for more details...
