Downtown Sevierville itself has several places worth checking out, or you might even venture out Wears Valley Road in Pigeon Forge for your treasure hunting. One shop in particular, Antique Outfitters on West Main Street in Sevierville, deals almost exclusively in furnishings. Most of my stuff is from the 1920s or older. I also like primitives, and I'm heavy-duty into oak. Cope gets most of his inventory from antique shows and auctions throughout the Midwest and Northeast.
Flea markets are another shopping option that have been popular over the years.
Two of the more successful in the area have been Great Smokies Flea Market on Dumplin Valley Road, just off I-40's exit 407, and Flea Trader's Paradise, located on Highway 66 in Sevierville. There are more than 500 vendors set up throughout the flea market's 100,000 square feet, most of which is indoors and climate-controlled. There's even a food bar and live entertainment to keep guests happy. According to Ventry, Great Smokies Flea Market is also branching out more into antiques and collectibles with an upcoming addition of exhibit space devoted exclusively to that market. The Antique Thursday section of the market is open to antique dealers and exhibitors as well as anyone in the general public interested in buying.
