The Best Souvenirs to Bring Home from Pigeon Forge

Keep your vacation memories fresh with keepsakes from your stay in this beautiful mountain haven. From unique crafts to famous, local foods, these are the best souvenirs to bring a bit of Pigeon Forge home with you.   

A Knife You Forge Yourself

Forge your own knife from a railroad spike, horseshoe, or nail, under the guidance of a blacksmith. This is a family activity, souvenir and useful tool, all in one. You can find knife workshops at Iron Mountain Metal Craft and Circle Bar T Forge and Bladeworks.

Handcrafted Appalachian Pottery

Pottery is both beautiful and useful, from simple mugs or coasters, to vases, pitchers, baking dishes and bird feeders. See potters at work, then buy their wares, at Pigeon River Pottery, Fowler’s Clay Works, Alewine Pottery and more.

Southern Ingredients from The Old Mill

Since 1830, the Old Mill has stood on the banks of the Little Pigeon River. Bring a taste of Pigeon Forge back home when you shop for locally made soup mixes, baking mixes, syrups, jams, breads and cookware at The Old Mill Farmhouse Kitchen. Buy flour and cornmeal stone-ground right here.  

Moonshine

You won’t have to hunt down a backwoods still or run from “revenuers”! Moonshine is a Tennessee tradition that’s both tasty and legal. Tour Pigeon Forge distilleries to discover your favorite flavors. Stop at Ole Smoky Moonshine, Tennessee Shine Co., and Tennessee Legend Distillery.

Black Bear Souvenirs

The black bear is the Smoky Mountains’ iconic mascot. Take home your own bear on a t-shirt or a cozy blanket. Wear a bear-shaped backpack. Snooze in bear-themed pajamas. True to its name, Three Bears General Store has all the adorable bear souvenirs you want.

Dollywood’s Famous Cinnamon Bread

Follow the spicy aroma to find Dollywood’s signature snack, fresh cinnamon bread. You can buy these golden brown braids to go. The rich taste will remind you of exciting days at this beloved theme park.
