COVID-19 Policies

Historic Ramsey House is committed to creating a safe and healthy environment for visitors, staff, and volunteers. We are continually monitoring local and national government agencies and health authorities, such as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for updates on the most effective ways to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Social Distancing: Signs throughout the Gift Shop and Visitor Center are placed to remind visitors to maintain a distance of at least 6 ft. from other groups, staff, and volunteers.

Physical Barriers: A plexiglass barrier is installed at the primary check-in area in the Gift Shop to provide extra protection for both staff and visitors.

Ionopure Air Purifier: An Ionopure Purity humidifier runs throughout the day in our Gift Shop and Visitor Center. The Ionopure Purity humidifier delivers a steady mist of Ionopure Air into every corner of the room, sanitizing both the air and surfaces.

Sanitation: The staff and volunteers of Historic Ramsey House will be regularly sanitizing restrooms, door knobs, and other commonly touched surfaces.

About Historic Ramsey House

Ramsey House was built in 1797 by Knoxville’s first builder, Thomas Hope, for Francis Alexander Ramsey. The home is constructed of Tennessee pink marble and blue limestone. It was known at that time as the finest home in Tennessee. The structure is significant for its original interior and exterior architectural features and its period decorative art collection.

The Ramsey Family was one of the first families to settle the Knoxville area. They played vital roles in developing civic, educational and cultural institutions. Colonel Francis A. Ramsey was one of the founding trustees of Blount College, now the University of Tennessee. One of his sons, Dr. J.G.M. Ramsey authored an early history of the state, The Annals of Tennessee. Another son, William B.A. Ramsey, was the first elected mayor of Knoxville and the Secretary of State for Tennessee.
