Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Dandridge is a town in Jefferson County, in the Morristown metro area, Tennessee. First settled in 1783, Dandridge is the second oldest town in Tennessee and the county seat of government. Dandridge is the only town in America named after America's first, First Lady, Martha Dandridge Custis Washington.

This quaint, historic town has preserved many of its historic buildings and offers a glimpse into history. The Jefferson County Courthouse built in 1845 houses a museum that has many historic photographs and is the same courthouse that the legendary Davy Crockett ventured to in order to obtain his marriage license.
