Night at the Museum
Mabry-Hazen House is hosting its first 2023 Night at the Museum on Wednesday, March 8, from 6-9 p.m.
Explore the 1858 historic house in an entirely different light as twilight falls upon Mabry’s Hill, watch the sun set behind Sharp’s Ridge and North Knoxville flicker alight, all while enjoying drinks from a local brewery.
The historic home will be open for self-guided tours and there will be behind-the-scenes access to the bottom floor at 7:30 p.m. Mabry-Hazen House also will continue its history series where we share an artifact or objects that normally are not on display.
Enjoy the casual atmosphere in the outdoor seating areas set-up on the front porch and lawn. There will be a fire pit and corn hole for guests, but all are encouraged to bundle up and bring their own games, stories, blankets and camp chairs as well.
Tickets are $10 per adult and visitors under 16 are free. Each purchased ticket includes two adult beverages and additional drinks are $5. A small processing fee is applied to tickets purchased online. Tickets will be available at the door.
