    My wife and I just watched this together, my wife's parents were 40 year members of Hopewell church in Dandridge and buried in the cemetery next to the church. Its a very lovely area. Thank you for this video and all your hard work.

    As usual, a story well told of a town that managed to survive. And as usual, this story of Martha Dandridge led me to Wikipedia and a whole lot of history which had passed me by...her story is well worth knowing, even with her being eclipsed by her second husband George and his fame...

    Thank you Mr. Laws, for this episode. I viewed it today. My wife and I have some very good friends, who were born and raised around Dandridge. They're up in age now, as we are. We've driven that main road many times.

    Donnie, I love your videos of east TN! My oldest son moved to Knoxville in 2001 to go to work for Buddy Gregg (he still works there today). He now lives in Lenoir City with his wife and little girl. My late husband and I first visited east TN in 2001, and I quickly fell in love with the area. We have explored many places back there over the years, including Dandridge, Kingston, Morristown, and one of my personal favorite places in the Smokies, Cades Cove. I will be returning to visit in July, 2023. I am looking forward to 3 weeks with my firstborn and his family. Thank you and keep those wonderful videos comin'!!

    Hello again Donnie. Several years ago I spent a week in Dandridge. We rented a boat and went out fishing. There is some good fishing on that lake. On the fifth day there I got to feeling really bad so I stayed back at the cabin. Later in the evening They sent a rescue squad to get me I was in so much pain. They took me to the hospital and come to find out I passed a kidney stone. Needless to say my fishing was over for a few days...lol...It is truly a great place. The doctors was wonderful also the people at the cabin. I really enjoyed my time there spite of all. Great video and I thank you again for the videos.

    Another beautiful video of a great little town in Tenneesee Donnie. You and the guys at Keeping Appalachia and Jared King tv have just about convinced me that I'm going to retire far away from the major cities! My heart is calling for the mountains again!
