Blount Mansion: the birthplace of the state of Tennessee and your ultimate Field Trip destination for statehood week, US history, colonial government, and life in the 18th century.

Trained docents will lead group tours around Blount Mansion, explaining important points in each room and the outlying buildings.

Tours will last about an hour, will start with a 15-minute introductory video in the visitor’s center, and conclude after students have been led through the mansion’s west wing, hall, parlor, east wing, attic, kitchen, and governor’s office.

Students will receive information on: colonial history, furniture, day-to-day customs, artwork, and Tennessee history.

If you would like docents to focus on a particular subject (children’s lives, Mary’s duties, statehood process, etc.), just let the education coordinator know several days before, and your tours can be tailored to suit the subjects your students are learning in school.

Supplemental materials can be arranged for teachers as requested.
