History
Allandale Mansion
Once a 500 acre farm where Mr. Brooks raised his championship Black Angus cows and blue-ribbon Tennessee Walking horses, Allandale is now an exciting part of Kingsport’s civic and social life. Elegant weddings, receptions, dinners, business meetings, and innovative celebrations once again fill the halls with the joyous sounds of laughter, dancing, and the romance of an earlier time.
Exchange Place
Exchange Place, – a living history farm, is Kingsport’s tonic for today’s fast paced life. The site was once a community that served as a self-supporting plantation, a relay station along the Old Stage Road and the Post Office for Eden’s Ridge, TE. Tennessee.
Exchange Place — the Gaines-Preston Farm recaptures life in the early 1800s where you exchange horse, money and stories.
