County, Brigadier General Landon Carter. Near the anniversary of Carter’s death, join museum curator Chad
Bogart for a special after-hours tour of the Carter Mansion, Tennessee’s oldest frame house, and learn about the
strange and sometimes bizarre customs, rituals, and superstitions surrounding death and funerals in early
America.
