Tennessee is Home to the Only Freshwater Pearl Farm in the U.S.

Did you know that the only freshwater pearl-culturing farm in the United States, even the entire continent of North America, is located in Camden, Tennessee? Located on the Birdsong Creek off of the Tennessee River's Kentucky Lake is the Tennessee River Freshwater Pearl Farm. This is only fitting because the American pearl is Tennessee's Official State Gem. It's no wonder the area has become a tourist attraction over the years for its stunning pearls.
