Established in 1989, the Paris-Henry County
Heritage Center is housed in Cavitt Place,
the most prestigious mansion in Paris when
it was built in 1916. Cavitt Place retains
its original painted-glass windows, marble
staircase and floors, ceiling and wall
murals, and mahogany woodwork. This Italian
Renaissance two-story home was called by one
state historical expert “the jewel in the
crown of Paris,” and is situated in the
historic North Poplar Historic District.
 The Heritage Center has temporary
exhibits
and a permanent exhibit featuring the
history of Henry County. The Center also has
an oral history video library, a tape-guided
historic walking tour of downtown Paris and
North Poplar Street and other research
resources. The gift shop features books,
memorabilia and items made in and/or related
to Henry County and Tennessee.
The Heritage Center is open Tuesday through
Friday, 10:00 – 4:00 p.m. and on Saturday,
10:00 – 2:00 p.m. Special tours and times
can be arranged by reservation. The building
is also available for private parties,
including weddings. Admission to the museum
is free to the public. For more information,
