About Mabry-Hazen House

Perched on Mabry's Hill, this Italianate house was finished in 1858 and lived in by three generations of the same family. Its rooms are furnished in the styles of several past decades, offering a look at roughly 130 years of Knoxville life. The museum holds a large collection of original family artifacts and covers topics such as the early history of Market Square, Civil War divisions, Emancipation in Tennessee, a notorious 1882 gunfight, Knoxville's industrial growth, and a 1934 court case. Visitors tour the house with guides, and the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
