Alongside fresh baked goods, coffee, snacks, and craft beers, we also have dry goods, picnic provisions, and LUNCH made treats in our market.
Mountain Goat Market
Mountain Goat Market has some of the best sandwiches and pizzas in all of the Southeast! The restaurant in Monteagle was featured in Southern Living among other publications, and was Hunter and Meredith's favorite places to grab food while in college.
Shenanigans
A great place to grab a beer and sit on the porch with friends. They also offer a variety of sandwiches, pizzas, burgers, and other pub food and has been the longest standing restaurant in Sewanee.... you can tell by the buildings lean!
Shopping
Mountain Outfitters
For all the Keewaydin folks, this is a fantastic place to pick up any last-minute gear before camp! With an upstairs sale room boasting 50% off of everything, you can snag some Filson, Patagonia, Pendleton and more at a reasonable price! If you tell them that you are here for Hunter and Meredith’s Wedding, they might even give you a discount :)
Lemon Fair
This little gift shop in Downtown Sewanee offers the sweetest little Sewanee trinkets and souvenirs on the mountain.
Hiking, Biking, and Other Outdoor Attractions
Bluff Views
Sewanee is well known for its plethora of beautiful bluff views at different parts of campus, some of our favorites include Greens View at the end of Greens View road, “The Cross” at the end of Tennessee Ave, “Morgan’s Steep” accessible from South Carolina Ave to Morgans Steep Rd, and Proctors Hall which can be found from Tennessee Ave to Proctors Hall Rd, then turn off the little gravel drive. Greens View is great for a sunrise, the Cross, Morgan’s Steep and Proctor’s Hall are best at sunset.
The Perimeter Trail
This 26+ mile trail system skirts the perimeter of Sewanee. Take it by foot or by mountain bike! If you don’t want to do the whole thing, some of our favorite sections include The Gates of Sewanee to Greens View via Shakerag Hollow, Morgan’s Steep to Proctors Hall, and Proctors Hall to the Cross. Maps are available at Mountain Outfitters.
Abbos Alley
Abbo’s Alley is a great, short walk through the woods right through the heart of campus. This begins near the football field through the wrought iron gates and ends on South Carolina Avenue, but has options to exit at the ATO Spring, the Fowler Center, and right across from All Saints Chapel.
Tennis and Pickleball
The University of the South offers outdoor tennis courts right next to the Sewanee Inn and Indoor Pickleball and Tennis courts at the Fowler Center on Texas Ave.
