Join the celebration as we dedicate the newly-restored Craighead-Jackson House and Garden, adjacent to Blount Mansion! This handsome federalist structure, dating to 1818, served as Blount Mansion's visitors center and museum from the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s, and afterwards was used as office and storage space. We undertook a restoration of the structure, starting last fall, funded by a generous grant from the Boyd Family Foundation . Simultaneously, using funds raised in a separate campaign, we are restoring the beautiful Colonial Revival garden behind the house. You are invited to join Blount Mansion's staff and board and members of the Boyd family for a ribbon cutting celebration at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, Sept. 22nd. Light refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public.
