Perhaps because of the youthful vibe imparted by college students, there are some quality live music venues in town of the small, hidden gem variety. So if you're in the mood for some country and rock-n-roll, don't hesitate to stop by Down Home, widely considered to have the best live music in the region. There are some fun outings for children in Johnson City as well. One of them is the Hands On! Regional Museum, which lives up to its name by presenting genuinely engaging arts and sciences exhibits that invite children to get their hands dirty. Especially enjoyable to children and adults alike is the Gray Fossil Site. Technically located in nearby Gray, Tennessee, it has 5 acres of rich excavation land, discovered as recently as 2007. Visitors can view archaeologists working in the field or check out the museum and outdoor displays. To date, two new ancient animal species have been discovered here.
