Falcon Rest Mansion & Gardens

Gallery/Museum ; Landmark/Historical ; Special Events ; Tour

Falcon Rest is the Victorian mansion where history is fun. It was built in 1896 by “Gorilla Pants” manufacturer Clay Faulkner, who promised his wife "the grandest mansion in Tennessee" if she would move near his woolen mill. Called "Tennessee's Biltmore" by PBS, Falcon Rest had all the "modern conveniences" — electric lights, indoor plumbing, central heat and more. Today, it is filled with museum-quality Victorian antiques, and some say it's presided over by a friendly ghost — perhaps the proud builder himself. Falcon Rest's Victorian Gift Shop, with over 3,000 items that could have been in the mansion in the 1890s, has been called an attraction in itself. Delicious lunches are offered in the Tea Room for walk-ins daily. Special interactive, history-based entertainment shows with meals and mansion tours are available for tour groups by reservation. Falcon Rest is located halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga in McMinnville, "the nursery capital of the world.” Gardens surrounding the mansion reflect the bounty of those local products. Open for guided tours 9 am-5 pm daily.

Milky Way Farm

Tennessee's Chocolate Estate Groups of all ages are welcome to enjoy a full tour of Milky Way Farm's elegant twenty-five thousand square foot Manor House. It is also a beautiful location for weddings and other special events, Frank Mars, the founder of Mars Candy, built Milky Way Farm in the early 1930s after the success of his delicious candy bar. It was a showplace with a 20 bedroom Manor House, 30 barns, 70 cottages, champion racehorses, prize cattle, and sheep. The stone and wood work of fine craftsmen still grace the property today. The farm has had several owners through the years that have loved and protected this historic homeplace. In 2010, Charles Jones and his daughter, Lynn Golden, bought the farm and began the work of restoration. They repaired roofs and barns, and placed the front acreage in protected agricultural easement with the help of the Tennessee Land Trust. In 2018, Lynn Golden and her sister Kathryn Hanley purchased the farm and have continued the work of protecting the historic structures and the landscape of Milky Way Farm. They want to be good stewards of this historic landmark, use the farm to honor the God who created its beauty, maintain the legacy of its founder, and re-ignite the pride and fond memories of those who have worked to make the farm a Tennessee treasure. . Today, Milky Way Farm operates as a special event and corporate meeting facility, hosting weddings, tours, and various public and private events throughout the year. The historic property spans over 1,100 acres of pastures and rolling hills with a few choice spots to take in a view for miles.
