Tipton- Haynes is a great place to visit. The grounds are a place where you can let the kids run and hike. The visitor center is an excellent place to learn the history surrounding Johnson City. The day we were there they were making maple syrup like they used to and they had a re-enactor in the cabin explaining life... More

I always enjoy the events in spring and fall. The site has a variety of ways to experience the past plus the wild life area has a cave to explore and walking paths. The wild flowers are a special treat in the spring.

This site has historic buildings in a pretty setting. If you keep an eye on the website calendar there are special events were you can learn old-fashion talents such as making fibers from flax or watch reenactments. They also have nature related events such as bird-watching and learning about native plants. I always enjoy the small hiking loop, pond, and... More

We have had a great trip we are kind of history buffs and we came to the tri-cities and couldn't believe all the history found. Great time and wish to come back!

Very interesting historical spot that was a complete surprise. The grounds and facility are worth going back to see again.

My wife and I visited Tipton-Haynes Historic Site after I saw a notice in the Erwin Record, local paper, of a free day (6 area museums/historic sites participating). I had passed the entrance many times on the Roan Highway, and figured, why not? We viewed the indoor exhibits first, saw a few "Push a button and watch" videos about the... More

Tipton-Haynes is an excellent site only when they have days when they have exhibits or workshops going on. There is not much to see and the site is on the smaller side. I would recommend only in the Summer.
