Febuary Hill Bed & Breakfast

The rich history of these grounds was fashioned by a duel of President Andrew Jackson and providing a home to Civil War army general Reuben Frank Bernard. Most recently, it was the home of Dr. Burgin Dossett, a past president of East Tennessee State University. Jonesborough residents refer to the home as the Dossett house located on Febuary Hill.

Welcome to Historic Jonesborough, the oldest town in Tennessee. We're the little town with the big story. We've been entertaining guests for almost 225 years, and we've enjoyed every minute of it.

We have a rich history and a proud heritage. We've worked hard to not only preserve our historic buildings and character, but our cultural heritage, as well. Jonesborough is the storytelling capital of the world. The National Storytelling Festival, started over 30 years ago, was the first celebration dedicated solely to the art of the storytelling. With the completion of the new International Storytelling Center, there are storytelling events and activities going on all the time.
We are fully booked for Storytelling 2009.

We love our music here, too. Our area is considered the birthplace of country music, and it's in our blood. We have free concerts downtown every Friday night from May through September with Music on the Square. The Pangaea World Music Festival in May and Historic Jonesborough Days on the Fourth-of-July are also a music lover's dream.

Shop in our unique stores and eat in our quaint cafés and restaurants. Visit the Jonesborough/Washington County History Museum, the International Storytelling Center, and the Historic Jonesborough Visitors Center. Stay awhile or stay forever. We love company.
