Blount Mansion’s Centennial Anniversary Lecture Series: The Women Who Changed Blount Mansion’s History!

Blount Mansion is proud to present local living legend, Laura Still, for our Centennial Anniversary Lecture Series!

One hundred years ago, in a time of fluctuating values and new cultural concepts, a group of women banded together to salvage a piece of our disappearing past: the Blount Mansion.

Meet the women who had the vision to see a decaying old house as the birthplace of Tennessee and took on the tremendous challenge of saving it for future generations.

Native East Tennessean Laura Still is a published poet, playwright, and local history author. She created Knoxville Walking Tours in 2012 and works full-time as a storyteller and walking history guide. She has researched and written 15 tours, including three ghost walks. She is partnered with the Knoxville History Project and proceeds from her tours support KHP and other history-oriented nonprofits in Knoxville. Co-owner of Celtic Cat Publishing since 2016, she has four published books: Guardians (2009), Acts of the Apostles, Vol. 1, (2010), A Haunted History of Knoxville (2014), and A Fair Shake: The Leaders of the Fight for Women’s Rights in Knoxville (2021), in addition to several articles about notable women in Knoxville history.
