While at the Winter Carnival of Magic earlier this year, we were treated to a personalized tour of Terry Evanswood’s Magic Mansion in Sevierville, TN (approximately 10 miles from Pigeon Forge). Terry takes us on a curated tour of his “eccentric” collection of oddities and unique artifacts, both real and imagined.
The “Magic Mansion” was completed in 1840 and lovingly restored to the Victorian Era of times gone by.
Use your imagination as you envision the many sights that you will hear in this week’s episode. Breath taking décor, antiques and art will transport you back to a simpler time. Our tour includes a visit to themed rooms and priceless collections like The Titanic Suite and the P.T. Barnum Room complete with sights and sounds relevant to the rooms.
We will then be led through a secret passage where you will “see with your ears” some circus side show oddities. We will also visit the Disney relic collection that features an amazing miniature amusement park exhibition.
Terry’s tour and description of his Magic Mansion is so broad that we are splitting up this tour into two episodes, the second of which you will hear next week.
This week’s episode is unique in that it is an audible experience that will hopefully immerse you into Terry’s world. My hope is that you will use your mind to imagine what we are seeing as we describe each artifact, room and piece of art. We leave off this week after having seen about 3/4 of his Mansion, the rest of which will be described in next week’s episode.
