Although seasonal, this little clearing in the woods is brimming with beautiful blueberries in summer. It's "u-pick" style, and payment is usually based on the honor system. Bring an appetite and plenty of water!

Town Center

In Town Center, you'll find Archer's Grocery, Sweet Cafe, the Post Office - all across from the library, police and fire station, service station and a local caterer. There's also a memorial recognizing veteran alumni of Norris High School, a historical clock and a giant chunk of the Berlin wall. If you're a "people watcher", then this is your spot! Just park yourself at a table in front of the Post Office, and - since Norris has no mailboxes - the locals all have to stop in.

Rice Grist Mill

The Rice Gristmill was originally constructed in 1798 in Union County. When the region was to be flooded in 1935, it was dismantled and rebuilt on Clear Creek.

The Threshing Barn

The Caleb Crosby Threshing Barn was originally built on the Holston River in the 1830s, but was relocated to its present site in 1978. You can find plows, old farm tools and a horse drawn wagon.
