Guided tours of Falcon Rest Mansion bring the Clay Faulkner
family and the 1890s to life for visitors of all ages.
There's something for everyone
...
- The
Victorian mansion called "Tennessee's Biltmore"
by PBS. Mr. Faulkner's obituary called him a mechanical
genius, so it's easy to understand why his mansion was equipped
with "all the modern conveniences of a model city residence."
- Museum
quality Victorian antiques in every room
- Gardens
reflecting the bounty of "the nursery capital of the
world"
- A
restoration that so revived a near-derelict old building
that it won the National Trust for Historic Preservations's
"Great American Home Award" -- an inspiration
to visitors who are redoing old homes themselves
- Intriguing
accounts of experiences that hint Falcon Rest might be inhabited
by a friendly ghost
- Real
stories about real people associated with the mansion over
the years, from Mr. Faulkner (the "secret soldier"
of the Civil War) and his colorful family, through the hospital
days and its dedicated restoration
It all adds up to make Falcon Rest
the Victorian mansion where history is fun.
