BACKGROUND:
When heading out on family vacations, many think of the big-ticket destinations such as sprawling amusement parks and the bright lights of Broadway, but what about those unique small-town sites? The United States has much to offer in the way of unexpected, adventurous places to discover! There are a vast array of destinations that offer the same exciting attractions as larger cities but with that small-town feel.

Travel Filmmaker and Host Juliana Broste shares some of her top ‘off the beaten path’ domestic destinations that should not be missed. Some of her out-of-the ordinary experiences include the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Lookout Mountain and the newly re-opened Bush’s Visitor Center Museum in Tennessee.

  • Chattanooga Choo-Choo – Opened in 1909 as Terminal Station, the train depot welcomed thousands of travelers during the golden age of railroads. Today, Terminal Station stands as part of the famous Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel with a complex that boasts on-site dining, retail shops, tranquil rose gardens and more.
  • Lookout Mountain – Home to three top-rated attractions that each showcase the natural and historic beauty of the area with breathtaking views of the Tennessee Valley. Discover the tallest and deepest underground waterfall open to the public in the United States at Ruby Falls, trek through Rock City’s wonders and “See Seven States” views. Ride the Incline Railway, one of the world’s steepest passenger railways
  • Bush’s Visitor Center Museum - Did you know there’s an entire museum dedicated to beans? The revitalized Bush’s Visitor Center Museum is nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, where travelers can easily take a break from the sights to enjoy a bean-tastic experience, at the museum which features free admission, the general store for shopping and a café filled with southern comfort food, including their famous Pinto Bean Pie, which is actually delicious.
