Bring a picnic and enjoy a day in the country at the Historic Ramsey House. Built in 1797 for Col. Francis Alexander Ramsey, it is one of the few historic 18th century homes in East Tennessee open to visitors. Tour the home with replica furnishings and stroll the beautiful grounds of what was once Knoxville’s finest home. Tours are available Wednesday through Saturday.
Special events are held throughout the year, the most popular being Christmas with the Ramseys. The visitor center and the 100 acres of countryside can be booked for private events. Ramsey House also offers excellent school tours that provide hands-on learning experiences.
