Slow & Easy
Construction began in 1908, opened in 1910, and was dubbed the Knoxville, Sevierville & Eastern Railway. Locals came to call it the Slow & Easy, given the unhurried pace of the trains. The line connected the industrial center of Knoxville with the then remote Sevierville and changed ownership several times until it was finally ceased in 1961.
Buckingham House
Listed on the National Register of Historical Places, Buckingham House was built 1795 by Thomas Buckingham, the first sheriff of Sevier County. It is the oldest house in Sevier County.
