@@FridaysForever I live my East Tennessee life vicariously from West Tennessee through your's and Yankeeinthesouth's videos. Glad you post them. Just a thought for a weekend trip.. Senoia Georgia has been the filming location for lots of things over the years, most recently The Walking Dead. That would make a nice little weekend trip for you guys. In addition to that, Driving Ms Daisy, Fried Green Tomatoes and some others have been filmed there. Its about 30 minutes from Atlanta. Just a thought..
My mom grew up just outside of jonesborough in the fairview methodist church community just west of jonesborough. I miss living in east tennessee. Beennliving in richmknd,va for past 34 years. It is almost time for me to move back to live in beautiful northeast Tennessee
What a wonderful production and a pleasure to be a part of it. You all shared your day in Jonesborough in such a way that anyone would be interested in visiting there as well. Thank you.
Hi Everyone! We really appreciate each of you for being a part of this channel and community. We hope you enjoy our adventure to the historic town of Jonesborough TN. Email us: Fridaysforever2@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/fridaysforever1 Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/fridaysforever2/
I live in Erwin TN about 18 miles from Jonesborough. We are rich with history in this area. Davy Crockets Birth plalce and Crocket tavern is just south of Jonesborough maybe 20 miles. Sycamore Schoals in Elizabethton is where the over tne mountain men gathered and met the british on kings mountain and drove them back to the Ocean a major win for us in the Revolutionary war.
Hi Ronnie! Thanks so much for sharing the history with us. We have a video in our library about Davy Crockett Birthplace....hope you saw it. We appreciate you watching!!
Because of your video we're planning a stopover at historic Jonesborough this Spring on our way from visiting family in the Blue Ridge to a restful mini-vacation in Maggie Valley NC. God bless✝️.
I've lived in Jonesborough Tennessee my entire life until I moved to Virginia 7 years ago..my heart will always live there and I hope to move back one day....
I am kin to all of the jones families from northeast tennessee. My mom's dad Joseph Lester Jones was born in 1916 and grew up between jonesborough and fall branch. He kept the cemetery burial plot books for the fairview cemetery located beside the fairview methodist church. So grandpa knew a whole lot of families from washington County area around jonesborough and johnson city,tn.
@@harolddenton6031 I think I know the Jones family you're talking about ..my first love LOL if you can have a love at 6 years old was Randy Jones.. his dad was a big construction person / maybe real estate development I think his name was Harold Jones but the Jones are a good reputable family and I used to go to Fair Haven Methodist Church off the old Jonesborough highway 😀
We lived there for 7+ years, seven years ago. My heart is there, beautyful place with the most beautyful people. May The Lord bless every body there !!!
What a nice video! I live in Jonesborough and all the buildings are authentic and original from 1700 to 1800s, except the Storytelling building, which was built in 2002, I believe. It was designed to look like the other buildings and look authentic. There was a huge debate at the time because people didn't want a modern looking building to change the look of the town.
Several of my jibes cousins live just west of jonesborough in the fairview community. I also have some Denton 1 st cousins who live off of cherokee road just over behind etsu campus. I mivescway in 1988. Don't know what I was thinking leaving beautiful northeast Tennessee. Almost time fir me to leave richmond,va after havingbkived in big city for past 33 years. Time to move back to tge slower paced lifestyle in the tri cities. My dad still lives in Mount carmel,tn but I prefer the gray or jonesborough areas.
I wish I would have found your channel in late April!! I would have loved to visit this town (I went to Greenville). Thanks for a wonderful tour of this town! I am taking my dad back to the Smokies in late August & we will hit this town. Appreciate your videos!
Prettiest lady in town. You are 1 lucky dude. Thanks for yalls videos, do enjoy watching them. Catching up on the ones I haven't seen yet. On a side note, I live 5 minutes from Jonesboro, Georgia. The title of this video caught my attention because of that. Lol
Hi @Mountain Solitude! It's a great place to visit for some rich history, food and story telling. We had a blast! Thank you for watching and commenting. Mike & Karen
Thank you so much for sharing. Tennessee has a lot to offer that most people don't know about. It's a beautiful state! I hope to get there one of these days.
I love your videos. One request....slow your panning please. You move the camera so fast it’s hard to focus and see everything. Also love the food reviews.
I know a guy that would fit into that town like a Glove on your hand, you're talking about story telling, He has retired out of every branch of the Military, He invented the Helicopter, He was the first person to fly a jet airplane, He plants his potatoes on a hill one end at the foot of the hill the other end at the top of the hill where all he has to do is dig a hole at the foot of the Hill and all of the potatoes roll out. But sadly his stories doesn't hold any truth whatsoever, LOL Everyone usually tried to guess what fibs would be his next, he always surprised us and his stories were interesting. This will be a great Vacation place to visit, Thank you 👍💖💖
Right beside the courthouse and that little old time fire hall was the coolest western auto hardware store. When I was a very young boy in the 1960's and 1970's. My grandpa lester jones use to trade with them buying things for his vehicles and old 1940's Ford tractor. Man I miss the days of small town living. Now a days big corporate stores have destroyed small town hardware stores.
Thank you for this video. I always wondered what Jonesborough looked like. I've seen the live railroad feed they have here on TH-cam now I know the rest. 😊
My jones families were some of the first settlers of northeast Tennessee by the 1770's. Both of my mom's parents have jones lines and my dad's grandmother was a Julia jones from hendersonville,nc. I went to kindergarten in 1969 at the church in the background at the very beginning of this video.
@@FridaysForever it was an even sleeper little town back in 1960's and 1970's when I was a much younger toddler through my teenager years. The dairy barn restaurant located on hwy 11E by Dillon Taylor funeral home was a dairy queen and the only fast food place in town until they built the hardees,burger King and druthers restaurants by the late 1970's into early 1980's. That McDonald's restaurant wasn't built until I think tthe 1990's.
@@VacationStationTV Some of our videos are shot on a gimbal with iphone 11. This one and most of the last vids were shot on an old Canon G7x with simple selfie stick.
I am in the market for a NOBO 10.5 and seen your video's . i would love to see your trailer if possible. closest dealer that has one is in Sevierville, and I have no plans to be down there for a while. You can check me out on instagram @ StillWaterWoodShop and see I am in Elizabethton.
I love these old towns. It seems they are a reminder of a time when life was more simple.
So true. Just a walk through will remind you. Especially the old photograph in the video. Thank for watching and commenting.

Just a few miles up the Road is Greenville Tn. Home of Andrew Johnson ( one of our impeached presidents) and the Davey Crockett home place.
Hi Dan! Yes, we have a video in our library from Davey Crockett birth place. Thanks for watching!

do people wear masks there? I am wondering what the politics are. Thank you.
@@mimi7914 it's about half and half. We don't have a mask mandate in our county

Hi, Your video was very enjoyable......I love old towns, but didn't know of Jonesborough being one.....everything was very interesting.....thank you.

The oldest town in Tennessee! Going way back to the state of Franklin days in the mid 1880's into early 1890's.
Such a beautiful, clean town. Hubby & I look forward to your next adventures!

Great town to visit in East Tn.

That's so funny Doc! It's a great little town to visit.
Love old towns like that and the history behind them. The old court houses are cool.

@@FridaysForever very steady. I sometimes forget mine and I end up with shaky video. In the future, I'll make a equipment check. 🙃
Lollipop Shoppe is a must stop in the area. Go Vols. The museum is interesting also.
