"A 3-minute walk to Market Square from Gay Street will take you to the next rooftop bars on my list: Preservation Pub and the adjacent Bernadette’s Crystal Gardens. Preservation Pub (known to locals as either Pres Pub or P-Pub) is Knoxville’s longest running rooftop bar owned by locals Scott and Bernadette West. These two have a fun and infamous story that I’ll save for another day, but they definitely know a thing or two when it comes to creating a rooftop ambiance."

"Right next door to Pres Pub and Bernadette’s is a third rooftop option in Market Square: Scruffy City Hall. While this rooftop may not have fire pits or beer trees, it still sports something truly unique. Friends, you must experience the “CinePub Under the Stars on the Scroof” where a projector plays movies and other various kinds of entertainment on the side of the building next door."

"Located two doors down from Preservation Pub sits Knoxville’s cathedral of entertainment. Just like it’s name, Scruffy City Hall is a gathering place -- only people gather over food, drinks and entertainment rather than to discuss legislation. Walking upstairs will give you more than just a great glimpse of Historic Market Square."

"The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame is worth visiting for a few reasons: 1) girl power!. ; 2) it’s home to the world’s largest basketball; 3) the Hall of Fame is a sub-contractor for the Center for Sport, Peace, and Society. The society’s mission is “to use sport to change lives, communities, and the world through teaching, research, and service.” As travelers, how could we not want to support such a mission?"

"Knoxville is home to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a must-visit attraction for all sports fans. The Hall of Honor is where guests will find notable players of the game, however, it’s the interactive exhibits that really keep visitors coming back. Test your dribbling and passing skills on the interactive play areas."

"Established to conserve Knoxville’s black history, the Beck Cultural Exchange Center features the history of African Americans in Knoxville and East Tennessee from the late 1800s to present through photographs, newspapers, biographies, audio and video recordings, books and artwork. The center is located at 1927 Dandridge Ave. and open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm. This post was updated by Alexandra Olsen, a college student intern for TravelingMom.com, in May 2016."

"The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is loved for its permanent collection including The Pioneer Stairway (which includes the names and history of the earliest black achievers), The Hastie Room (includes reminders and personal items of William H. Hastie) and the United States Postal Stamps. The exhibitions pay tribute to some of the individuals in Knoxville’s past which helped shape the worl...Read more"

"The Beck Cultural Exchange Center is the primary repository of Black history and culture throughout East Tennessee. The museum’s historical archives include books written by African-American authors, and exhibits feature people and events that have played an important role in building up Knoxville’s African-American community. It’s an important place to visit."
