Fascinating History of the Construction of this House and Its First Owners

This is the oldest frame house in Tennessee. There was not yet a sawmill in TN when the boards for this house were brought over the mountains from the Virginia colonies. This and many special architectural features make this a fascinating house and many interesting stories of the family that built it made this a delightful visit.

    A Step Back in Time That's Well Worth Your Time to Take
    Tremendous tour of Carter Mansion...props to Taylor Moorefield for a most informative and enjoyable tour. Carter Mansion the oldest frame house in Tennessee. As always, the backstory surrounding those who lived in the house is what makes a tour special and this one delivers. From handwriting on the wall before soldiers arrived to wallpaper INSIDE a closet door to mysterious paintings on the wall and a cabinet that is part of the wall...this was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
