Potential uses for Farragut’s historic Campbell Station Inn currently are being reviewed by a new working group put together by Trevor Hobbs, assistant to the Town administrator.
The group met for the first time Wednesday, Nov. 30, on the main floor of the building, which has been owned by the Town since 2012. The Inn has been structurally stabilized in the years since and had some non-original portions removed, while the surrounding grounds have been turned into the Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza, named for Farragut’s late mayor and leader of the effort to preserve the home and site.
Previous committees and various community input surveys have suggested many uses for the Inn — including a café, brewery, museum, bed and breakfast, art gallery/exhibit space, special event venue or welcome center.

“We have legitimate concerns,” said Belleaire subdivision resident Jeanne Brykalski with Farragut Neighborhood Preservation Partnership.
