What are the top things to do in Wears Valley?
Headrick Chapel
Though it looks unassuming, this modest white chapel on Highway 321 is a significant marker of Wears Valley’s civic history. For more than 70 years prior to its construction, locals had gathered for funerals under a large oak tree shading the adjacent cemetery. When lightning struck the tree after a crowded outdoor service in 1902, construction on a chapel went full-steam ahead. It was completed that summer, with a deed specifically stating that it be shared among the valley’s various denominations; it is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
Metcalf Bottoms Trail
Spanning more than 522,000 acres, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is, hands-down, the region’s biggest draw, which can result in crowded entrances during peak season. Locals know to skip the park’s main east and west entrances, and instead take Line Springs Road to Metcalf Bottoms. The 1.2-mile dirt trail is well worn for easy navigation and takes visitors past the Little Greenbrier School, a well-preserved log-cabin school from 1882.
Covered Bridges
One of the best ways to explore the backroads of Wears Valley is with a driving tour to Sevier County’s pair of covered bridges. The Harrisburg was built in 1875 and is on the National Register of Historic Places, while Emerts Cove was built in 2000 as an homage to the local style. Both provide lovely photo opportunities of the Little Pigeon River and the region’s flora and fauna.
