Built in 1871, this iconic home was a top attraction on what was once known as Millionaire’s Row. Today, it draws visitors from across the country eager to see how the wealthy set once lived.

They will also hear about the life and times of Noland Fontaine, who ran the largest cotton business in the US and owned the Woodruff-Fontaine house between 1861 and the late 1920s. Travelers can step back in time as they explore the French Victorian architecture and family heirlooms that line the halls and rooms of this iconic home.

The staff were friendly,...
The staff were friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The house was beautiful, and the ongoing renewal of this historical building was both tidy, interesting, and even incorporated into the introductory part of the tour. And yes, the staff were happy to answer questions about the ghosts!
