The Meux Home was built in 1889 by Dr. Thomas Richard Meux. Dr. Meux was born in 1838 in Wesley, Tennessee. He attended the University of Virginia and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School in 1860. During the Civil War he enlisted in 1861 as a private in the Ninth Tennessee Volunteer Regiment of the Confederate Army. He participated in the battles of Shiloh, Murfreesboro and Atlanta. After four years he left the service as an assistant surgeon with the rank of Captain.


This is where a Victorian Tea is held twice a year ... Christmas and Mother's Day.

Look what this guy did in his life! And we feel harried in this day and age.

Can’t fill half of one of his shoes!!!

And the girls remind me of our outfits when we went to Church on Sundays in general. It was the biggest thrill of our lives. I tell you little compares as an adult these days!!

What a beautiful Victorian home - I would love to have seen the rooms inside, too!
