Several activities are on the January calendar for the historic Sabine Hill House, the stately home built by Mary Patton Taylor, widow of Brigadier General Nathaniel Taylor.

The site has been described as one of the finest examples of Federal architecture in the state of Tennessee. Tours of the house will be offered Jan. 8 and 22 at 1 p.m. There will be a cost of $7 for adults and $3 for children. Children six and under will be admitted free.

Chad Bogart, Museum Curatorial Assistant at Sycamore Shoals State Park, will lead the tours, during which visitors will have the opportunity to take in the colorful and architecturally detailed interior while learning about the influential Taylor family, who called Sabine Hill home in the early 19th Century.

Sabine Hill is located at 2328 West G St.

Sunday, Jan. 19, from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the park, the Sabine Hill Social Society will host an afternoon of early 19th Century Dance. Beginners and seasoned dancers, alike, are welcome.

The afternoon will include English Country Dance and early Appalachian dance techniques.
