Directions to the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center
 

Driving Directions:
3/4 mile east of traffic light at the Highway 321 and 73 intersection towards the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Townsend, Tennessee.


From Knoxville/Alcoa/Maryville:
Take state highway 321 to Townsend. The Center is located at the far end of town, between Townsend’s only traffic light and the western entrance to the national park. When you get to the traffic light, do not turn but, instead, go through the intersection – the Center is about 2/3 mile beyond the light on Scenic Highway 73.


From Pigeon Forge:
Take Wears Valley Road off of the Parkway and follow all the way to Townsend. Turn left onto Highway 73 – the Center is about 2/3 mile beyond after the turn.
