Historic Jonesborough Walking Tours Return for 2017 with Expanded Options

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. – Jonesborough’s Mythbusting Tour, putting Jonesborough’s history to the test, debuts 1 p.m. April 1 and is offered at various times throughout the year.

Jonesborough is the Oldest Town in Tennessee and the Storytelling Capitol of the World, so it’s only natural the town has some big myths that need busting. On the other hand, 238 years of history has produced some outrageously true stories. Think you can separate the myths from the facts?  Put your detective skills and knowledge to the test.  How outrageous is Jonesborough’s history? Come along and find out.

Jonesborough’s Mythbusting Tour tickets are $5 per person and can be purchased directly at the Chester Inn State Historic Site and Museum on Main Street.
