Some of the earliest businesses were ordinaries (inns and taverns), whose existence and rates charged for rooms, meals and beverages, and personal services were legislated by the Jefferson County Court.  The earliest were run by Edward George (1795), John Coulter, Alexander Outlaw, William Robinson, Jeremiah Shelley, James Roddy(e), James Doherty, Thomas Jarnigan (1793), and James Jack.

Four historic inns still exist in Dandridge, though they are no longer used for guest lodging.  More information about this is available at the DandridgeTN Web site.

  • Shepard's Inn - 136 E. Main Street – constructed circa 1820's by Shadrach Inman
  • Hickman Tavern - 131 E. Main Street – constructed circa 1820's by the Fain family and later owned by Francis Hickman.
