Blount Mansion

"Great tour. Very friendly staff. Affordable and interesting. We were shown the first floor and detached kitchen and Constitution room as well as the grounds. We four were the only ones in our tour."

"An excellent house museum detailing the life of William Blount, a signer of The US Constitution. This house was built in the 1790s by Blount as he was the appointed governor of the Southwest Territory by George Washington. The house and visitor center details settler history, along with personal and family history of the Blounts. There is free parking behind the visitor center. Admission is reasonable and the staff is very friendly and helpful in answering any questions. I also recommend the Halloween ghost story tour at night. Its a very entertaining experience with a spooky atmosphere within the dark old William Blount Mansion."

"The hour long oral guided tour and eight minute video made this a worthwhile educational stop."

"We had an excellent tour guide. Our family was the only group on the tour and our guide spent so much time asking our kids questions and making sure they got to ask all of their questions too."

"A friend and I attended the Holiday Open House last night at Blount Mansion with the opportunity to roam around the historic houses and grounds, the place was full of warm ambient holiday cheer! The docents, volunteers, and staff were knowledgable and passionate about history. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, we will be coming back to explore and learn some more! Could not recommend this historic site enough. If you're interested in East Tennessee, Knoxville history, and William Blount, this place is the best!"
