Jonesborough, Tennessee may be a small town tucked in the Northeast corner, but it’s one of the most historic places in the state. It’s certainly the oldest town in the state, founded 17 years before Tennessee was admitted to the Union. In the heart of the town is the Historic Eureka Hotel, a building that has been restored and preserved to its original 1797 condition. The Eureka might be one of the most remote Tennessee hotels, but it’s certainly worth the trip from no matter where you are in the state.

The Historic Eureka Inn sits right in the heart of downtown Jonesborough, across from the county courthouse. Built in 1797, it was actually one of the first land lots purchased in the newly minted State of Tennessee.

The Eureka Inn was once the boarding quarters for the jurors of the cases being heard at the courthouse across the street. Multiple visitors have reported seeing shadows in the halls and hearing voices speak of murders--no doubt the ghosts of some of the jurors haunted by the crimes they heard.
