Rural community in the Smoky Mountain foothills
Tucked into the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains is the small town of Friendsville, a quaint farming and lakeside community in rural Blount County. Fort Loudon Lake in the neighborhood’s northern portion is a reservoir that branches off the Little Tennessee River; residents here can find a number of scenic waterfront properties along the lake, many of which include private docks and boat launches. In addition to its natural beauty and landscapes, Friendsville also has a history stretching back to the late 19th century, when it was settled by Quakers from North Carolina. During the Civil War, the town became a stop on the Underground Railroad, and locals used a cave near the still-standing Friendsville meetinghouse to stock provisions. Today, this neighborhood brings its residents a quiet, peaceful lifestyle in the Tennessee countryside. “A lot of people from Knoxville are moving to the area… There’s a slower pace here. It’s a big county, there’s lots of open land,” says Realtor Dwight Price, who has been selling homes in the Knoxville area for more than 20 years and owns Dwight Price Realty Group.
Prewar Farmhouses can be found scattered throughout Friendsville.
The Friends Meetinghouse is located in Friendsville, TN.
