No one knows a city as well as the people who live there, the ones who know where to find the best local shops with the coolest trinkets, hidden gem restaurants with must-try dishes or mesmerizing street art sprinkled along the landscape. America is full of communities who make their mark on their city, making them interesting places to call home and drawing in visitors from all over to see what sets it apart.
According to a list of "offbeat" American locales and "charming oddities" compiled by Reader's Digest, the quirkiest city in all of Tennessee is Gatlinburg. This tourist haven not only has stunning views but unique and fun attractions like a museum dedicated to salt and pepper shakers.
Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about this destination:
"Who knew that Gatlinburg, Tennessee would be known for its knickknacks of all things. That's right, there is a Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum here that houses about 20,000 different kinds of salt and pepper shakers. Even more bizarre: This Tennessee town has a sister museum of salt and pepper shakers located in Spain."
