Interesting
Things to See in Hancock County:
Quilt Trail
If
you take a drive down almost any road in Hancock County, you can see
evidence of our quilt trail. The trail starts up in Ohio and
extends down into Tennessee, where we have numerous quilt
squares hanging on our local barns and other buildings. They are
painted on plywood by local school children and other Sneedville
residents. Clinch Star
Elrod Falls
Elrod
Falls consists of three cascading falls of more than 100 feet, making
it one of the most gorgeous waterfalls in East Tennessee.
You
can swim in the pools at the base of the falls, hike one of the
surrounding trails or bring along a picnic lunch while surrounded by
the lush beauty of the Appalachian
Mountains. Elrod Falls
