Tour the Tennessee Victorian mansion where history is fun.
Falcon Rest Mansion & Gardens in McMinnville has been called “Tennessee’s Biltmore” by PBS.
Just 25 minutes from I-24, it’s a must-see stop between Nashville and Chattanooga.
Saturdays in October just got spookier …
Follow George McGlothin, Falcon Rest’s owner and chief storyteller, through the mansion as he recounts ghostly experiences reported to him during the 37 years he has shared the building with its previous “residents.” Reserve your place any Saturday night this October … if you dare! $25 per person plus tax; limited availability.
Open Wednesday thru Sunday
9 am to 5 pm
All times Central.
Closed Monday and Tuesday, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

PLEASE NOTE: The mansion and gardens are not visible from the road. They are entirely hidden in the 1890s inside our tall holly hedge. Enter at the Visitor Center just past the hedge at 85 Bluff Springs Road. Access to the gardens is restricted to paid tourists, overnight guests, and participants in large events.
Three interactive history-based shows make stars of the people in the audience.
Performances can be scheduled any time for groups of 20 or more.
Don’t have a group? Individuals can join a scheduled group show.

“We had the pleasure of touring Falcon Rest Mansion while we were camping at Rock Island State Park last week. We had a wonderful time and our tour guide was a wealth of information. She made the tour very entertaining. I’d recommend a visit for anyone that loves history and beautiful old homes
… a lovely artwork of Tennessee history.”
