Cooter's Place

If you have any Dukes of Hazzard fans in your family, Cooter's Place is a must-do. The man behind Cooter's is, well, Cooter himself, actor Ben Jones. Here you'll find a museum with several cars from the television series as well as plenty of memorabilia.

You can't miss the General Lee, the orange Dodge Charger used in the series. It's usually parked in front of the museum (it does travel to make special appearances.)

For a few dollars, you can have your photo made inside the General Lee or take a free look at the extensive collection of memorabilia the show spawned. In the gift shop you'll find General Lee t-shirts and Cooter's Place souvenirs.

Also, mark your calendar for the annual DukesFest. This huge gathering of show fans is held in Gatlinburg every summer (although the 2006 event is planned for the new Cooter's Place in Nashville) and includes visits by cast members as well as drag racing, live music, and more.
