Dickson-Williams Mansion

City: Greeneville, TN
Region: East Tennessee

Wealthy Irish immigrant William Dickson used a team of highly skilled Irish artisans and slaves to build this high Federal style mansion in 1821 for his only child, Catherine. In 1823 Catherine and her new husband, Dr. Alexander Williams, began a life of lavish entertaining. Guests at the mansion included three presidents, the Marquis de Lafayette, and David Crockett.

The house changed hands several times during the Civil War, commandeered by both sides. While Confederate General John Hunt Morgan was staying there, Mrs. Williams reported him and Union troops ambushed and killed him.

From I-81, take Ex. 23 - Greeneville/Bulls Gap. Travel 12 mi. and take Greeneville Business Ex. Take a L. at 3rd light and go through one intersection. The Mansion is on the L.
