Hawkins County, Tennessee
The rolling hills of northeast Tennessee are home to Hawkins County. It’s a place steeped in history and natural beauty.
Rogersville is the county seat and claims to be the second-oldest “settled” town in the state. That’s some serious bragging rights. Music’s a big deal here. So is storytelling.
The Holston River winds its way through the county, following U.S. Highway 11W. It’s a favorite spot for fishing and kayaking. Hawkins has a foot in two worlds, part Appalachian, part Tennessean. You can see it in the local culture.
