Athens alabama
Not really off the beaten-path, though. It has three exits on I-65.
ETA: The only reasonably fun thing to do in Athens is the Fiddler's Convention. It was a great place to grow up, but there's not exactly anything cool going on.
Athens State and the surrounding historical district are pretty. The college is the oldest in the state. You can see the first governor's house in Belle Mina, and the oldest incorporated town nearby in Mooresville.

Athens now has grease festival every fall where a bunch of vendors fry all types of food. Within miles of athens there is rails to trails walking path with a goat cheese factory nearby called belle chèvre. Tennessee and elk river are both within miles from city limits. Numerous bbq joints that are all worth a try, legendary burger place called dubs. As far as nightlife, gotta go to a trashy bar called macs, country club or booby bungalow up in Ardmore tennessee, roadhouse bars up in minor hill Tennessee, or hard dock down in Decatur. Great hunting and golf nearby as well
