Discover Seymour

When looking for a hotel in Seymour, it’s worth considering the focus of your stay. Local history, regional produce and recreational activities offer different starting points for planning your trip. Newell’s Station, the Keener–Johnson Farm and the Seymour Farmers Market represent different themes; golf, paintball and disc golf can be compared based on specific features.

Historic Sites in Seymour

Newell’s Station was a frontier fort built in what is now Seymour in 1783 and the site of Sevier County’s first courthouse. The Keener–Johnson Farm is another historic landmark: it is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Seymour. This gives you two distinct historical points of interest: Newell’s Station is associated with a frontier fort and an early role in the courts, while the farm is recognized as a historic district.

The Seymour Farmers Market

Founded in 2000, the Seymour Farmers Market sells fresh seasonal produce from local farmers as well as handmade goods by local artisans. Its offerings therefore include both produce and crafts. If you’re looking for regional products or handmade goods during your trip, you’ll find both categories at the market. The produce is seasonal, which you can take into account when planning.

Comparing Golf and Paintball

Creekside Golf Course is a 9-hole golf course with an on-site practice facility. Smoky Mountain Paintball has been operating since 1994 and has four playing fields, including large wooded fields and a hybrid speedball field. The two activities offer different points of comparison: for golf, the number of holes and practice facility are specified; for paintball, the number and types of fields are given. This lets you plan around your preferred activity and format.

Disc Golf and Disc Rental

The First Baptist Church Seymour disc golf course begins and ends near the snack stand. A few discs can be borrowed from the church during regular business hours. If you plan to borrow discs, be sure to do so during those hours.

Road Orientation and an Annual Tradition

A section of Chapman Highway in Seymour runs from Macon Lane to State Route 338, also known as Boyds Creek Highway. Chapman Highway is designated as State Route 71 and U.S. 441 and serves as an important road connection between Knoxville and Sevierville. The first detail identifies a section and its endpoints; the second gives the highway’s designations and its regional connecting role. When comparing road information for your trip, this distinction helps separate the Seymour section from the connection between Knoxville and Sevierville.

The Seymour Community Christmas Parade is an annual local tradition. If you’d like to plan your stay around the parade, check the event dates for your travel year.
