Description
The Carter Mansion, built between 1775-80 by John and Landon Carter, is the oldest standing frame house in the state of Tennessee and can be found in the city of Elizabethton. Both John and Landon Carter were strong business, political and military leaders in the Watauga Settlement in the late 18th century. The interior of the home is noted for its elaborate architecture which includes hand carved panels, crown molding, and chair railing. Two paintings, one over the fireplace in Carter's office and the other in the upstairs in the master bedroom, are considered the oldest paintings known in the state. The Carter Mansion is managed by Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park and offers tours and special events throughout the year, which include Christmas at the Carter Mansion in early December and the Carter Mansion Celebration in the spring.
