How do I get to the show from Jefferson City?
The simplest route is US-11E (Andrew Johnson Highway) heading northeast out of Jefferson City, straight into Morristown. In normal traffic it's about a 20-minute drive to Morristown Landing along the lakefront. Parking at the venue is free, so you won't be hunting for a meter or feeding a garage.
Coming from the Carson-Newman side of town or from the Highway 92 area near Dandridge, you'll still funnel onto 11E — it's the main artery connecting Jefferson City and Morristown, and it drops you within a couple of minutes of the Landing.
What projects make sense for Jefferson City homes?
For the older brick ranches near downtown and campus, homeowners here often tackle kitchen and bath refreshes, window replacements to cut summer cooling bills, and updated HVAC or crawlspace work. The show's exhibitors deal with these East Tennessee housing realities every week.
If you're closer to Cherokee or Douglas Lake, the conversation usually turns outdoors — decks, retaining walls on sloped lots, drainage for clay soil, and landscaping that holds up to lakefront wind and full sun. You'll find landscaping and outdoor pros ready to talk through what actually thrives in zone 7a.
Is it worth the trip for a free show?
Admission and parking are both free, so the only thing you're spending is a Saturday or Sunday morning. For a 20-minute drive, you get to compare several local contractors in one room, ask hard questions face-to-face, and collect quotes without a single sales visit to your house. That's a lot of legwork saved for a short hop up 11E.
