Whether you’re headed to Bonnaroo or simply exploring the region, these small towns are worth taking the scenic route for.

Over the past decade, Tennessee has experienced an incredible public art movement.

If there is one thing besides Bonnaroo that Manchester, Tennessee is known for, it’s the food. Sure, the music festival put the city on the international map, but long before campers started rolling into The Farm each June, Manchester had already built a reputation as one of Tennessee’s great roadside food towns.

More to do if you're going to Roo: Whiskey Trail

Your first stop should be the Tennessee Whiskey Trailhead and Welcome Center located on the campus of the world-famous Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, only about 30 minutes from Manchester. Here, you can grab a free Tennessee Whiskey Trail Passport and officially begin your whiskey adventure.
