So hard these days to find period-appropriate wardrobes.

Renaissance-Lover's Castle

Worth checking out inside the castle. The castle isn't on the fairgrounds -- it's about a five minute bus ride. Can been seen from 840.

Renaissance-Lover's Castle

A large, habitated medieval castle. The owner lives in it. Still under construction. The owner hosts the Tennessee Renaissance Festival every weekend in May. The castle is open to the public during the Renaissance Festival. [SQWERL, 02/26/2013]

It's an impressive-looking castle. Pity it's not open more than a couple of weekends a year.
