Small roadside historical marker on Dandridge’s Main Street commemorating the dike that protected the town from reservoir flooding. Photos pair the plaque with the town’s brick courthouse, period storefronts and distant views of the French Broad/Douglas Lake. Easy sidewalk access, free street parking; no entry fee. Best light: golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm facades and long shadows; weekday mornings are quieter. Accessible for tripods; modest crowds during festivals.
