Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Sewanee?

Accepted Answer

You'll want to explore nearby Chattanooga. What's 35 miles when you have your own rental car? The drive there is half the fun!

If you can only see one thing here, let it be Unclaimed Baggage Center. (But we're also big fans of Goose Pond Colony Golf Course and Scottsboro Boys Museum and Cultural Center.)
