My daughter went on a field trip and the students loved it. I’m planning on returning and spend more time learning about Blount Mansion.

The guide was well informed. We enjoyed the tour, we like looking at old houses and hearing about the occupants’ lives.

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!
