Dickson-Williams Mansion Tour Greenville TN

Dickson Williams Mansion

Catherine's father built this home for her after she completed her schooling in the east.  Construction began in 1818 and was completed in 1823.  Most of the furnishings were purchased by Catherine and remain in the house.  The house has 3 stories and a basement.  The upper most floor was for a ballroom.  Many presidents and David Crockett who was born in the area visited the home.

We toured Andrew Johnson's home.  He became the 17th president after President Lincoln was shot.  He supported the constitution throughout his life and his decisions were based on reserving individual rights.
