Explore Athens, TN

Tennessee's appeal includes the stories preserved in its cities as well as its celebrated music. Memphis has a major civil rights museum and Mississippi River scenery, while Nashville pairs historic neighborhoods with a rehabilitation community linking hospital recovery, outpatient care, and academic research. Nashville's art museums and the Parthenon in Centennial Park give therapy travelers quieter outings alongside the city's live music. East Tennessee changes the surroundings: Chattanooga sits beside the Tennessee River, and Knoxville brings university life near the foothills. The Great Smokies offer forested landscapes and mountain communities for longer outings. Regional food makes a stay distinctive, from Memphis barbecue to Appalachian cooking. Local markets and craft traditions provide other ways to get acquainted with Tennessee beyond its concert stages.
