Went on Halloween Eve on a ghost tour. Was fantastic. Started in visitor center for an informative non formal question answer about history. Then went on tour, using flashlights, through the mansion hearing the history and what went on in the different rooms. A great...More

Visit Was Too Hot

We can only recommend this "museum" when it's 60 degrees or colder. The visitor center, with its movies, is comfortable and interesting. Also the tour with the docent is interesting, but the oppressive heat made the visit less than enjoyable. Also, lots of trip hazards;...More

You can only see this little mansion on a guided tour,

and I was glad I did because my guide, Erleen, told me about every visitable room in the mansion. She explained to me that the requirement for Tennessee to become the 16th state was for William Blount to bring 60,000 settlers to the area! I...More

A Valuable Time Capsule of Tennessee History

We attended a reception at the Blount Mansion, and were invited to tour the mansion. While "mansion" is a relative term, this one is worth a look. As the home of a former Governor, it is smaller than you might expect, so not conducive for...More
