Description

Due to rain, Night at the Museum will be delayed one week to Wednesday, May 22.

Mabry-Hazen House is hosting Night at the Museum on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, from 6-9 pm! Attend for a chance to visit the house museum after-hours on a weekday and drink up a little history.

Explore the 1858 historic house in an entirely different light as twilight falls upon Knoxville! Watch the sun set over downtown, see the city flicker alight, and chill on Mabry's Hill while enjoying a crispy, cold beverage.

The historic home will be open for self-guided tours with staff available for questions. There will be behind-the-scenes access to the bottom floor at 7:30pm. Mabry-Hazen House also will share an artifact typically not on display.

Outdoor seating will be set up on the front porch and lawn for groups to relax at a historic place in a casual atmosphere. A fire pit and outdoor games will be available, and guests are encouraged to bring their games, stories, blankets, and camp chairs.

Presale online tickets are $10 per adult, and visitors under age 16 get in for free. A small processing fee is applied to tickets purchased online. A responsible adult must accompany visitors under the age of 16.

Each purchased attendee ticket receives one beverage ticket for one (1) soda or beer, with additional drink tickets at $5 per ticket. Adult beverages may be served to age 21+ only, and we will not tolerate anyone giving alcohol to minors.

Tickets will be available at the door for $13, although current Mabry-Hazen House Members will still get in for $10.

Mabry-Hazen House

The Mabry-Hazen House Museum, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located atop Mabry's Hill in Knoxville, Tennessee. Built in 1858, three generations of the same family resided in the Italianate-style home overlooking downtown Knoxville, the Tennessee River, and Great Smoky Mountains. Furnished and decorated in the style of several decades, Mabry-Hazen gives a rare view into 130 years of Knoxville history. The museum showcases one of the largest original family collections in America with over 2,500 original artifacts on display. Learn about the origins of Knoxville's iconic Market Square, the bitter divisions of the Civil War, the infamous 1882 Gunfight on Gay Street, a mountain city in the New South, the scandalous 1934 breach of promise and seduction trial, and much more through the rich, colorful lives of the Mabry and Hazen families.
