Fun Facts About Tennessee

Activity Overview

Each state in our country has its own unique fun facts that kids will love to discover. For this activity, students will create a 3 cell storyboard that depicts some interesting facts they have learned about Tennessee. Teachers can encourage students to research their own fun facts, or provide a list of ones for students to look at specifically. Here are some examples of fun facts:

• Tennessee is bordered by eight states. That is the most in the country, alongside Missouri.
• Besides the White House, Graceland, located in Memphis, is the most visited house in the United States.
• There is a seven story replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tennessee.
• The “Guinness Book of World Records” lists the Lost Sea in Sweetwater as the largest underground lake in the United States.
• The tow truck was invented by Chattanooga resident Ernest Holmes in 1916.
• Tennessee has some strange speed limits. A street in Trenton has a speed limit of 31 miles per hour, and another street in Collierville has a speed limit of 19 miles per hour. Now that’s specific!
