| The Deery Inn was built by an Irishman by the name of William Deery back in the early 1800s. Deery lived here until his death in 1845. It now lies along Tennessee's oldest Wagon Road and is one of the many stops along Appalachian GhostWalks' "Haunted Historic Blountville GhostWalk" where we discuss the Inn's history and haunted paranormal activity documented there in investigations peformed on site in detail.
Guests can combine this tour with Tennessee's oldest town on the "Haunted Historic Jonesborough GhostWalk" for a fully immersive jouney into the past with East Tennessee Ghost Stories containing both the history and mystery of these two fantastic early pioneering towns. Details can be found on our vacation packages page under the "Blountville and Jonesborough Tour Package" heading and description.
William Deery, a man from Ulster in Ireland developed the inn into a major trading post. A successful merchant, Deery operated a thriving business as innkeeper and owner of the stage lines. The imposing manse has three main entrances. There are thirteen nine-over-six glass pane windows. Two chimneys stand sentinel at the west and east ends. The inn consists of a large entrance hall, a gathering room, dining room, library, kitchens, four family bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three wayfarers rooms with their own entrance.
Notable guests in the inn include Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson, Louis Phillipe Orleans the King of France, and the Marquis de LaFayette. The inside doors have been autographed by three Tennessee governors, including Frank Clement, Buford Ellington, and Lamar Alexander, and the front door by President Jimmy Carter.
The Deery Inn is now open as a State Museum and is part of an indepth historic and haunted presentation offered as part of Appalachian GhostWalks "Spook and Study" Vacation Packages.

A Few Reviews From Past Vacationing Guests
Johnson City Little Chicago GhostWalk - FANTASTIC!!!! We had a wonderful eerie time!! The stories were surprising and shocking! Who knew there was such a history hidden in a tiny Tennessee town? Our guide Stacey, was wonderful and funny! Close to 3 hours and worth every nickel. We hope to take the other tours they offer. We've taken alot of Ghost tours across the country, Gettysburg for one this tour is one of the best! I promise, you'll have a great time! - TripAdvisor - Extraordinary3393
I just wanted to email you ASAP to tell you how much we enjoyed the entire day. We really learned a lot, not only from the dowsing lesson, but when you spoke about EVP's. My only regret is that New Jersey is several hours away. I ordered the DVD set of Greeneville, TN to see the other places on the tour we didn't get to. Again, let me thank you for such a great time. Not only did we all learn a lot, but we laughed a lot and it was really nice to meet someone with the same interests. - Jean, Rich, and Kristen Ramalho - Haden Heights, NJ
Our Ghostwalk was Jonesborough. It was a great time! Stacey was super knowledgeable about the town's history and had a lot of stories about experiences that he and others had in the town. Photos were taken and we were able to see orbs in them, which was more than we were expecting. If you have any interest in the Paranormal, I would highly suggest this tour. - TripAdvsior - ForestFaye1022
