A Knoxville Treasure.
The Mabry-Hazen House Museum, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located atop Mabry's Hill in Knoxville, Tennessee. Built in 1858, three generations of the same family resided in the Italianate-style home overlooking downtown Knoxville, the Tennessee River, and Great Smoky Mountains. The museum showcases one of the largest original family collection in America with over 2,000 original artifacts on display. Furnished and decorated in the style of several decades, Mabry-Hazen gives a rare view into 130 years of Knoxville history. Learn about the origins of Knoxville's iconic Market Square, the bitter divisions of the Civil War, the infamous 1882 Gunfight on Gay Street, a mountain city in the New South, the scandalous 1934 breach of promise and seduction trial, and much more through the rich, colorful lives of the Mabry and Hazen families.

Definitely Make Time for This Stop
This historic site is a must see. Besides, learning about the fascinating stories and characters of the three generations of the Marne-Hazen clan, the (relatively new) curator/tour guide had energy, fresh insight and an ability to weave stories of the home’s family and the history that unfolded around them over the course of a century. A must see!

Great tour, great value
This is a fabulous, interesting, educational tour of the home; you'll learn a lot about the family that lived there, and a bit of the history of Knoxville, too. It is definitely worth your time when visiting Knoxville, and the entry fee is quite reasonable. I was fortunate to have the curator, Patrick, as my tour guide. He not only has a wealth of information, but readily takes questions, and is clearly enthusiastic about the home and its history.
