Haunted Historic Glenmore Mansion Jefferson City Tennessee

Jarnagin acquired the house from Branner's heirs. APTA's Jefferson County Chapter, now known as Glenmore Chapter, manages the property as a house museum open to the public.

Glenmore Mansion is located in a very historic part of East Tennessee. The house and grounds are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. John Roper Branner, the builder, was President of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad (now part of the Norfolk-Southern line). Both he and his wife had deep roots in Jefferson County.

Each year, thousands of people from all over the U. S. and several foreign countries visit Glenmore. The house sits on a hill in the eastern part of Jefferson City on a four-acre, pie-shaped piece of land at the intersection of Old Andrew Johnson Highway (U. S. 11-E) and Chucky Pike.
