Watertown, Tennessee is probably one of our favorite places to visit. It’s small, welcoming, and exudes a southern charm that you simply can’t get outside the state. A tourist destination and tiny town delight all in one, Watertown takes the proverbial cake. Let’s go for a visit, shall we?

Brent Moore - Flickr The Tennessee Central Railway Museum hosts a series of train excursions, of which many pop on out to Watertown. It’s a couple of hours on a historic train, and if you go during the summer you can visit during their Jazz Festival. It’s one of the neat events the town is known for.

Best little place around. We’re completely in love… If you’re looking for somewhere else to visit in Tennessee during the wintertime, check out this Christmas small town wonderland!
