All senior adults are invited for this special outing to the Governor’s residence!
Tennessee’s Executive Residence, a classic example of stately Georgian architecture, was originally known as “Far Hills” because of the beautiful view from the home’s 10-acre site. The three-story, 16-room home was built for businessman William Ridley Wills, the founder of National Life and Accident Insurance Company, and completed in 1931. The property became the Volunteer State’s official governor’s home when the state purchased it in 1949 following Wills’ death. To date, ten governors and their families have lived and worked in the Tennessee Residence.
