Unique would be an understatement when trying to describe the Fontanel Mansion in Whites Creek, TN. That's because this home and the land it sits on are so many things to so many different people. If you're a country music fan, you'll love the fact that this was the house that Barbara Mandrell built in 1988. It was her primary home for years and acted as a sort of gathering place and getaway for countless country music stars. Take a tour to see and touch artifacts of all sorts that were brought to the house by Barbara Mandrell or left there by famous guests. Additionally, the home's current owners Dale Morris and Marc Oswald have installed elements from their own private collections from the artists they manage including Alabama, Kenny Chesney, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson and more. If you're a history buff, you'll be interested to know that the land surrounding the mansion is where Jesse and Frank James came to hide out after the gang's ill-fated Northfield, MN bank robbery. And a few years prior to the James boys gathering here, the Confederate Calvary used the land as a place to assemble during the battle of Nashville. But there's even more to Fontanel's story than that. Come visit and tour for yourself to experience all that is Fontanel.

The Mansion at Fontanel has been upgraded to welcome all visitors, including those with disabilities. From handicapped-accessible restrooms to wheelchair ramps and elevators, the Mansion stands ready to welcome everyone.
