As you cruise along the Parkway of Pigeon Forge, it isn't hard to spot the stunning and pristine shopping complex, Walden's Landing, and all it has to offer the public. It is home to incredible features such as: Firehouse Golf, the NEW and AMAZING Tomb, Red Rocket, Calhoun's, Smoky Mountain Brewery, Birkenstock, and The Forge Cinemas. Both guests to the area and locals alike flock to the theater each week to relax in their cozy chairs and watch the most current releases on state of the art technology.
On July 1st, guests to the complex could even enjoy the rich history of the town encompassing them via the film, "Cornfields to Condos." It traces the roots of Pigeon Forge, which just celebrated its 5oth anniversary of incorporation, from its first settlement through present day. This film is the brainchild of locals including city historian, Vita King and Derek Roominess, technical coordinator for Pigeon Forge Library.
The film was shown at 10 a.m. FREE to the public at The Forge Cinema and lasted approximately 40 minutes long. It involved an array of pictures from years past alongside a narration. The DVD is soon to be released. So watch for it!
