This 1896 Victorian mansion was built by Clay Faulkner, who promised his wife "the grandest mansion in Tennessee" if she'd moved next to his Gorilla Pants factory across the road. It's now open for guided tours daily. The Victorian Gift Shop and Tea Room are in its visitor center to the west of the mansion. Events such as weddings and motorcoach group tours are hosted in the Victorian Carriage House behind the courtyard. Overnight lodging is available on the grounds.
