Jamestown (pop. ~1,935) is the county seat of Fentress County, founded in 1823 and incorporated in 1837. Located at the crossroads of U.S. 127 and SR‑52, it sits on the western edge of the Cumberland Plateau. Locally known for the Mark Twain City Park and the last remaining spring that provided water to author Samuel Clemens’s father. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Pickett CCC Memorial State Park, with lush forests and historic Civilian Conservation Corps structures. You’ll also find Highland Manor Winery and small local breweries—perfect for post‑service drop‑offs. Jamestown hosts the annual World’s Longest Yardsale along Highway 127, a regional attraction that brings visitors from multiple states.
