Kept in pristine condition, the Inn has period guides. Cabins in rear are also well-kept. Excellent way for children to learn history-adults, as well.
it was good to see and learn about the history of kingsport it is on the riverfront so you can see the wildlife the geese and the ducks are every where
What a pleasure to have a restored Inn from colonial days, along with many, many extras -- even a replica of a "boat" used to float salt (from Saltville, Virginia) downstream as far away as New Orleans. How King's Boat Yard grew to become Kingsport.
My wife & I visited Kingsport from England to see a good friend who managed to persuade a guide at the Netherland inn to open for us out of season as we could only visit for a short time. The whole experience was amazing and the Guide was very informative explaining things about the Inn and the times it went through and the people who were guests over the years. In fact she explained it so well one could have almost seen and heard things fro times gone by in ones own mind. We hope the US keeps it's history alive with paces such as these and their wonderful Guides who do a marvelous job. Thank you so much to the folks that run this amazing charity. They rely on donations so please be generous when you visit
The historical building and elegance, I really like. But my favorite thing is the ghost!
great historic place to visit to see what life was like in old Kingsport. a lot of history here. the tour is very informational
A beautiful 3 story structure that served as a boat yard, stage coach inn and tavern, a home and a boarding house throughout the years and now a fascinating museum along what was back in the day the main route to Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee. You tour all 3 floors: the 1st floor is the tavern, the 2nd floor is the family quarters, and the 3rd floor are the guest rooms all furnished in period pieces.The tour guides are very knowledgeable and personable which makes for a wonderful tour. There is a replica of a late 1700's flat boat across the road from the house near the Holston River.Along side the house is a small pretty flower garden. In the back of the house are 3 log cabins.Daniel Boone and his family's log cabin that they lived in from 1773 to 1775 in Duffield , VA was dismantled and brought here. You can tour the inside of it. The other 2 cabins is a replica of a 1790 log school house and the 1880's Pence cabin and neither of these could you tour, but they were nice to see just the same. This Kingsport piece of history is worth seeing and hearing about.
Great part of Tennessee history. Three american presidents stayed here along the Holston River. Worth your time. There is only a limited time they are open so just be sure to check the schedule before you go.
Learn about the history of East Tennessee when it was called the State of Franklin. Guides wear period dress.
Place looks and sounds interesting but it is never open and there is no times or events when it is will be open posted.
