Blountville
Tennessee's frontier county seat, where three presidents slept
Blountville has served as Sullivan County's seat of government since 1795, named for Governor William Blount who administered the Southwest Territory from nearby Rocky Mount. The town's historic core is compact and walkable, the Old Deery Inn (where Jackson, Polk, and Johnson stayed), the Sullivan County Courthouse, the county archives, and the Ron Ramsey Regional Agriculture Center are all within a short drive. Blountville is the quiet heart of Sullivan County's governmental heritage.

Small-town Tennessee at its most authentic. Blountville doesn't try to be anything it's not, it's the county seat, it's historic, and it's proud. Walk the same streets as three presidents and eat at the kind of deli where locals know your name. The pace is slow and the history is deep.
