Welcome to Jamestown, Tennessee
As well as being a portal to the land of Big South Fork, Jamestown is the home of great American revolutionaries and intriguing sights, not to mention World War I hero Sgt. Alvin C. York. With features like the landmark York Gristmill perched along the Wolf River, the world-famous 127 Sale, the world’s longest yard sale and Highland Manor, Tennessee’s oldest winery, Jamestown provides visitors and locals a great range of cultural and consumer attractions. Staying true to its small town roots, even with its own municipal airport and location on U.S. Highway 127, Jamestown manages to remain seemingly tucked away in the quiet, peaceful country of the Upper Cumberland – ready for you to discover.
