"I picked this site to visit as it was close to the resort I was at (Meadowview) and was a 20-minute drive from there. I arrived at 9 and since there were no other visitors, I had the tour guide to myself! Rocky Mount Historic Site is a wonderful place to visit. It is a well-maintained historic site and I highly recommend visiting this site if you are ever in the Piney Flats area. I especially enjoyed the guided tour of the museum and the Cobb-Massengill House while learning history of this area and the state of Tennessee. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative, and she brought the history of the house to life and answered all my questions. I also enjoyed walking the trails after the tour, which offered stunning views of the surrounding countryside."
"Had a great time and learned alot about the time period in East Tennessee. The volunteers were quite knowledgeable and entertaining. I would recommend the stop to anyone in the area who enjoys history."
"Made a quick stop at the Rocky Mount State Historic Site in Piney Flats, TN. Rocky Mount, in Piney Flats, Tennessee, also known as the Cobb-Massengill House, was the first territorial capital of the Southwest Territory. The property of William Cobb, the original residence at Rocky Mount served as the territorial capital from 1790 to 1792"
"Extremely friendly workers and amazing actors. I get bored easily when listening to people talk about a location but the people they have volunteering/working here know what they're doing. They keep anyone at any age engaged. If you're looking for somewhere to take photos this is an awesome place."
"Went with my daughters class, we really enjoyed it. Split into groups of 7-8 kids and each group did an activity. My group had fireplace cooking. All the kids were excited."
