Cragfont Gardens are located in Castalian Springs, Tennessee. They are part of the frontier mansion of Revolutionary War hero, General James Winchester. The mansion, built in 1802, now serves as a museum, and the gardens are a popular place for weddings. There is a gazebo, a lake with a fountain, and a plethora of colorful blooms.
The gardens are open April 15th through November 1st. Hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday from 10:00 - 5:00, and Sunday by appointment. Cost of admission is $5.00 for adults, and $3.00 for children.
Museum and a garden - nice!

ReplyDeleteI thought the museum was rather interesting.
DeleteWhen not reading visiting castles and stately homes is one of my favourite past times.
ReplyDeleteI find historic sites quite interesting, too.
DeleteGardens with some history are even more of an attraction. There seems to be an endless supply of them on your side of the Atlantic!
