Cravens House will be decorated in a manner similar to the Civil War era. Tours will be conducted every 30 minutes beginning at 6 p.m. and ending at 8 p.m. Reservations to tour the house are required due to capacity limitations.

The Cravens House is located on the historic Lookout Mountain Battlefield. Robert Cravens’ original “Alta Vista” was completed in 1856 and then destroyed seven years later during and in the aftermath of the “Battle Above the Clouds.” Mr. Cravens rebuilt the current house in 1866.
