Oldest Town in Tennessee

Took a trip up to Jonesborough this weekend. Spent Saturday tooling around town, browsing a few of the craft/antique shops and definitely taking some pictures. Jonesborough is full of old homes, inns and churches. It amazes me how so many of these structures have survived.

Washington County Courthouse which is the First Governmental Division ever named in honor of George Washington.
