Virtual Tour of the Hurst Mansion, Col. Fielding Hurst’s Civil War era home in Purdy, TN as well as Ghost Hunter’s dream spot … The Old Purdy Cemetery
These are some pictures taken on a trip to Purdy, TN to visit the Hurst Mansion some years ago. At this time, the property was owned by the county and they were investigating turning it into a museum. Those plans fell through and a new owner owns the property. Apparently, this owner is not very interested in Fielding Hurst and does not take kindly to any visitors to the property. So, ghost hunters and others, do not visit the house, settle for a visit in picture. Click an image to view.
The Hurst “Mansion” and yes I use that term loosely.
Inside … the kitchen, complete with nice F.U. inscription on the wall …
Infamous staircase with supposed bullet hole from someone shooting at Fielding …
Upstairs, includes the Ghost Window …
The Purdy Cemetery, maybe the scariest place on the planet. Ghost Hunter’s paradise, but be warned that your car will most likely not start when you get ready to leave and you will die a slow, gruesome death.

Wonderful pictures. We went to visit the cemetary this past weekend. Most of the grave stones that you took pictures of are broken and laying in pieces, the grass is about a foot high. The fence is partially torn down. What a shame there is no upkeeping.
