Established in 1779, Jonesborough is Tennessee's oldest town, set in the Appalachian Mountains of the state's northeast corner near Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol. Its historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Every October, the town hosts the National Storytelling Festival — an event the *Los Angeles Times* once compared to what New Orleans is to jazz.
