tripadvisorWe had a fascinating tour of the Rock Castle. Our tour guide has been giving tours for 5 years and he offered very specific details about several aspects of the physical space and history of the property and buildings.
MoreMy family and I toured this historic home today- the oldest house in middle Tennessee. Our guide, Canyon, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot and was surprised to learn how much history occurred within these walls. The price was very reasonable. If you are in Nashville and like history, visit this site.
MoreAn easy going tour and budget friendly! The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Loved hearing the history of the home and seeing period pieces that helped tell the story. Our group had a picnic under the trees following the tour.
MoreEvery app and even the sugn on the property said they were open sundays 1pm -5pm. Dont be fooled. No one ever opened the gates to let us in .
MoreWe spotted this place on Google Maps while in the area and decided to take a look on a Sunday afternoon. We arrived at the visitor office just before 3:00pm and learned from Emmy that we could go on a guided tour of the inside of this property for a small fee. Emmy also turned out to be our tour guide as well; she was extremely knowledgeable about Tennessee and American history. We really enjoyed her outgoing personality and vast knowledge of the property. She made learning about history fun and entertaining. NOTE: Touring the grounds is FREE!
