Adventures and Day Trips
Love to explore? We pack the calendar with scheduled trips by bus, boat, and plane, so you can encounter fantastic new places with your friends. The Trustwell Living campus is only a 20-minute drive from downtown Knoxville, where you can catch a show at the historic Bijou Theatre or pick up fresh produce, honey, and coffee at the Market Square Farmers Market.
Our community is also handy for day trips to the Smoky Mountains town of Pigeon Forge. The popular vacation spot is home to the Titanic Museum Attraction, housed in a replica of the ship, and Dolly Parton’s Dollywood theme park. Be sure to visit in spring, when Dollywood hosts the Festival of Nations, a celebration of global cultures featuring flamboyant music and dance performances.
If you’re a country music fan, make a beeline for Nashville, less than three hours away by car or bus. Backstage tours at the Grand Ole Opry offer a behind-the-scenes look at the legendary venue, taking in the artists’ entrance, stage, and TV studio. Beyond downtown, you can stroll the tranquil grounds and Greek-Revival mansion of Belle Meade Plantation, a handsome 19th-century estate.
