Knoxville, TN - Come to the Blount Mansion to learn more about our Mysterious Past - Legends, Customs, and Myths will be the focus of these special, candlelight and flashlight tours of the mansion.
How many people died in this house throughout the years? Why did the Cherokee people call this “the House with Many Eyes?” Were some people really buried with a bell to alert people that they had been buried alive? Did the Blounts have a tunnel that lead down to the river to make a quick escape if needed? These questions and more will be answered at this exciting event.
We will also allow the most adventurous visitors into the Craighead-Jackson House right next door, for the first time in several years. You don't want to miss this special opportunity to learn some history, and maybe get a bit spooked!
