Historic Downtown Newport

The Cocke County seat is alive with historic buildings and a variety of shops:  Ace Antiques, where depression glass and political memorabilia abounds! Riverwalk, stroll and enjoy the beauty of the Pigeon River. As you explore town, be sure to notice the Rhea-Mims Hotel, built in 1925 out of native stone and now a senior center, and historic Elm Hill (private property), once the vacation home of Governor Ben Hooper.Ret
