On Thursday, April 25, 2024, we will host Dusk in the Dogwoods on Mabry’s Hill next to downtown Knoxville.
The museum invites everyone to join friends, board members, and museum staff of Mabry-Hazen House to celebrate over three decades of historic preservation and education.
The event is a swingin' 1920s garden party and will feature:
A silent auction filled with items and experiences from local small businesses, producers, makers, and more
Costume contests for the best flapper, mobster, and silent film star outfits
An open bar with signature cocktails, local beer, and wine
Heavy hors d’oeuvres
Dancing tutorials for swing and other 1920s dance styles
Live music from the Old City Buskers
Historic house museum tours
And more!
This event celebrates Mabry-Hazen House and raises money to support several capital improvement projects. We are dedicated to raising $15,000 to undertake the continuing restoration of:
The original kitchen, enslaved quarters, and the butler’s pantry and office. We seek to interpret and exhibit the spaces inhabited by enslaved or domestic servants of the Mabry and Hazen families.
The plaster of the historic house interior walls. Over the years, the house has settled and shifted, and the walls need attention from a plaster specialist.
From Mabry's Hill to Market Square, Mabry-Hazen House weaves through the history of Knoxville and East Tennessee. Our small museum sees over five thousand visitors a year and hundreds of children on school field trips, and we need your help to extend our history well into the future.
Built in 1858, three generations of the same family resided in the Italianate-style home overlooking downtown Knoxville, the Tennessee River, and the Great Smoky Mountains. Furnished and decorated in the style of several eras, Mabry-Hazen House gives a rare and personal view into 130 years of Knoxville history. The museum showcases one of America's largest original family collections, with over 2,500 original artifacts on display.
Recently, Bob Vila’s website named Mabry-Hazen House one of the “10 Houses on the National Register of Historic Places Worth Seeing,” a list with many other prestigious historic houses, including the Lincoln Home in Springfield, IL, Winchester Mystery Mansion in San Jose, CA, and Mark Twain’s Home in Hartford CT.
