September 17 Social Connect at the Scottish Tartans Museum
Join Visit Smokies for an evening of connection, collaboration, and itinerary-building at the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, North Carolina.
Previously planned for Sanctuary Village, the September 17 Social Connect will now take place at this iconic cultural attraction. The Scottish Tartans Museum is opening its doors for a special evening, giving guests the opportunity to explore its exhibits, learn more about Scottish tartan traditions, and experience the museum in a unique setting.
This event is open to Visit Smokies members and nonmember businesses from across North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains. Connect with regional partners, and discover new ways to create memorable visitor experiences.
We will also welcome multiple special guests, including the team from the historic Jarrett House in Dillsboro. Known for its attention to detail and commitment to preserving the character of the property, the Jarrett House offers an inn, restaurant, cocktails, guest rooms, gathering spaces, and an event hall that can accommodate up to 90 guests. We’re looking forward to connecting them with businesses from across the region.
During the evening, guests can:
- Explore the Scottish Tartans Museum
- Enjoy Scottish-inspired refreshments
- Meet the Jarrett House team and other special guests
- Connect with Visit Smokies members and regional businesses
- Share ideas for collaborative promotions and visitor experiences
- Begin developing itineraries and package opportunities across the region
Bring your business cards, brochures, and ideas. Come ready to meet potential partners and discover how your business can be part of a larger Smoky Mountains itinerary.
We look forward to seeing you at the Scottish Tartan Museum on September 17!
(ProTip: We recommend making reservations for Gracious Plates ahead of time for dinner afterwards)
