Norris Dam State Park spans over 4,000 acres between the Cumberland and Appalachian ranges, set along the shores of Norris Lake. The park takes its name from Senator George Norris, whose advocacy helped bring about the Tennessee Valley Authority; Norris Dam itself was completed in 1936 as part of the New Deal. Much of the park's historic character comes from the Civilian Conservation Corps, which built several of its structures in the 1930s, including cabins now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For gatherings, the park's Tea Room is a longtime favorite for weddings, receptions, company dinners, and catered events. Built by the CCC, it has a two-tier floor plan, a full kitchen, cathedral ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a wooden deck overlooking the woods toward the lake, with seating for up to 100 guests. The Appalachian Event Center offers a separate space suited to large business meetings, bridal and baby showers, and family reunions, while the Conference Room in the park office accommodates smaller meetings. Two picnic pavilions in the historic district, both wired with electricity, round out the park's options for casual outdoor gatherings. Beyond its event spaces, Norris Dam State Park is a destination in its own right, with more than 30 miles of hiking trails, boating and fishing on Norris Lake, and cultural sites including the Lenoir Museum, an 18th-century Rice Grist Mill, and the Crosby Threshing Barn.
