A farewell on wheels in Pigeon Forge. 🧡
Cooter’s Pigeon Forge shared this bittersweet sight: the General Lee and Daisy’s Jeep loaded onto a trailer, preparing to head to their new home at Cooter’s in Nashville.
For fans who stopped in for a little Hazzard County nostalgia—or a photo with those familiar vehicles—this makes the farewell feel a little more real.
Cooter’s began its Smoky Mountain chapter in Gatlinburg in 2002 before later moving to Pigeon Forge. Now, the Pigeon Forge location is in its final season, with closing planned for the end of 2026. The Nashville and Luray, Virginia, locations will continue welcoming fans.
Did you visit Cooter’s in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge? We’d love to hear your memories. 🧡
