Blount Mansion offers free tours to children ages 6 through 17 (ages 5 and under are always free) the first full week of each month.
The Arts & Culture Alliance thanks Blount Mansion for participating in Penny Performances, giving every child in Knox County, including home-schooled and private-schooled students, an opportunity to attend arts and culture events/activities at the maximum cost of ONE PENNY when accompanied by an adult during the 2011/2012 academic school year. www.penny4arts.com.
The Blount Mansion Visitors Center and gardens are available for use for special events throughout the year.
The Visitors Center can comfortably seat about 80 people theater-style and approximately 40-50 people for a sit down dinner. The space can accommodate about 100 for a standing reception. A small, fully-equipped kitchen and tables and chairs are also available upon request. Rental fees vary depending on size of group, date and time, and set up.
Local, community-based, non-profit organizations are encouraged to use the Blount Mansion Visitors Center and Craighead-Jackson Education Center for a fee.
Contact us at director@blountmansion.org for more information about event rental space.
