The famous “The Village” in downtown Gatlinburg Tennessee was originally started in 1965 by two families and over a three-year period the thick roofing slates, heavy carved doors, antique trim moldings and handmade bricks were put together giving each visitor a taste of the “old world”. In 1982 The Village was completed. The result is the beautiful, quaint shopping center  in downtown Gatlinburg Tennessee today. Step back in time at “The Village” and enjoy a day of shopping!
