Historic Westwood - Historical place museum in Knoxville - 3425 Kingston Pike, USA

Great historic home. Especially good for those who like art. The studio is a special room. Staff was very knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Says tours start every hour but if there is no tour in progress they can start anytime.

Finally got to see the house as part of the East Tennessee Historical Society's annual "History Hootenanny" last Saturday. Ordinarily the house is not open on the weekends so I've never been able to go. I don't know if they always operate this way or if it was special-event staffing, but there was a different docent in every room (all very elderly, a couple of whom I worried about because they had difficulty walking) who spoke extensively about each room. While very informative, it provided no opportunity to just take the room in without someone yakking at you and pushing you from room to room. The woman at the front door, who was the great-granddaughter of the owner, was the most interesting and informative, but also seemed the most eager to move people on into the next room. If they have that many people staffing the house, it's no wonder they're never open on weekends.

Beautiful and interesting historic home Ms. Adelia Lutz who was an artist and cultured idealist who was way ahead of her time. Excellent tour and guide

Wow! I had no idea a place like this existed in Knoxville. When I travel I like to seek out places connected to artists. I wasn't familiar with Adelia Lutz. It was amazing to see her art displayed in the house she lived in and in the studio where she painted. The docent was wonderful and I appreciated the personal guided tour. One of the best places I've been in Knoxville!

This home is amazing! We were so fortunate to have Todd as our guide through this beautiful home. His knowledge of Knoxville history and what role Westwood played in it made touring this home a memorable experience. He went out of his way to ensure all of our questions were answered and his love for history and art was apparent. This home is a must see.

Cool piece of history. Beautiful house, interesting story of the family. Love the studio, the dining room and stained glass. Our guide was excellent. So cool that it was a free visit - if you go too, please consider giving them a contribution so we can preserve the great old historic homes.

This place is absolutely beautiful!

Lovely bottom floor. Second story is offices now but you can still see how they must have looked.
