Merry & Bright Christmas Open House at Blount Mansion

Holiday Event Guide

blount mansion open house

Come celebrate a historic holiday with the Blount Mansion family! From 5:00-8:00 p.m. on Friday night, Dec. 7, 2018, our circa-1796 historic house is open to the community free of charge. Enjoy authentic decorations created by the Knoxville Garden Club, traditional holiday treats, and musical selections by members of the Knoxville Choral Society. We’ll even be preparing wassail and roasted candied nuts over the fire in our open-hearth kitchen! This popular annual event is our Christmas gift to the community. Many people enjoy attending our open house before watching the downtown Christmas parade, which begins nearby at 7:00 p.m.

NOTE: The Blount Mansion will be closed for regular tours during the day Dec. 6-7 so we can prepare the house for this special event.

More information is available at www.blountmansion.org.

Free parking is available throughout the event at the Blount Mansion Visitors Center, and after 6:00 p.m. in the Dwight Kessel Garage across the street.

The circa-1792 Blount Mansion was home to William Blount, territorial governor and a signer of the United States Constitution in addition to the original state constitutions of Tennessee and North Carolina. The mansion is a National Historic Landmark.
