The Historic Carter Mansion, Elizabethton Tennessee
Come take a glimpse of Carter County's rich history by visiting the old Carter Mansion. This historic home is now managed and operated by Sycamore Shoals State Park. The Mansion is one of the oldest houses still standing in Tennessee.

The Carter Mansion was once the home of Col. John Carter and his son Gen. Landon Carter. Built around 1780 by John Carter, a chairman of the Watauga Association, and one of the earliest Watauga Settlers. Landon Carter, known as the "Father of the County" because the county was named for him, and the county seat Elizabethton, for his wife Elizabeth. Open May 15th through August 15th Wednesday through Sunday and by appointment.

"The Carter Mansion" was built before 1780 by John Carter and his son Landon. John Carter was chairman of the Watauga Association, a court of five men elected by the settlers of the Watauga Count in May 1772, "to govern and direct for the common good of all the people." Carter County is named for Landon and Elizabethton is named for his wife Elizabeth MacLin. The family cemetery was located just to the east of the house at the site where it sat upon its original foundation.

A full paranormal investigative study was done inside and around the house in October of 2005. Details of that study are presented year-round on Appalachian GhostWalks' afternoon and evening lantern-led "Haunted Historic Elizabethton GhostWalk". Reservations are required so call (423) 743-WALK (9255) for reservations by telephone, or RESERVE NOW ONLINE. You'll have a simply SPOOK-tacular good time!!!

A Few Reviews From Past Vacationing Guests


Amazingly Accurate, Historical, Family Fun, and Educational - I have been on several tours across this country and I can honestly say there is nothing like these tours anywhere. They are done from a positive perspective on the Afterlife that is NOT designed to scare you, or sensationalize fear. It is dedicated to an accurate portrayal of the history of America's First Western Frontier and brings history to life through the research done in the buildings along the tour route to give visitors a spinetingling feel for who it is that is haunting a location and why they are here! I wold recommend this tour to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of not just ghost hunting, but afterlife research and study. Nearly two decades of life experience and hard labor of love as well as a passionate desire to provide proof that there is more to life than meets the eye has gone into the production of these tours. As far as the time spent on this tour, you'll not miss it for as they say - "time flies when you're having fun". Absolutely amazing is the only way I can possibly describe this experience. With fourteen different choices, you owe it to yourself to share in a truly family fun experience! - The Montgomery Family

I just wanted to let you know that Jonathan and I had a wonderful time last night on the Abingdon GhostWalk. The history and stories that we learned were amazing. I worked in Abingdon for three and a half years but had no idea about all the rich history. It was absolutely beautiful at night. Unfortunately we didn't see a ghost this time, but we will definitely be doing the Jonesborough tour very soon. Thank you for a great evening of fun. - Justin and Jonathan
