The Litz Mansion Room #7 - The Nelle May Room

This beautiful historic mansion was constructed in 1859 by John Warfield Johnston, a Virginia Senator, and Judge of Tazewell County. The home is situated on a 3.16-acre lot and is conveniently located within walking distance of the Tazewell Main Street area. The Johnston family was very well known in Virginia for their achievements and built the home to display these accomplishments.

John, his wife Nicketti and son George lived in the home until it was purchased by John C. Hopkins and wife Elizabeth during the Civil War. Following the war, Colonel Andrew Jackson May (“Jack”) purchased the home. Jack May was thought of as one of Tazewell County’s best known military heroes who played a significant role in the Civil War and helped retain control of the Virginia-Tennessee Railroad. May lived in the mansion with first wife Matilda May, who sadly passed away. Jack remarried Nelle Bly and had a son Colonel May. Nelle remained in the home and turned it into a school for a couple of years before it was sold to the longest owners on record, A.Z. Litz and wife Etta V. Stauber.

While the mansion has changed ownership over the years, John Warfield Johnston’s home of grandeur remains the same over 160 years later!

Great escape
I loved every minute of my stay here, except for getting in the front door. It was terribly hard to get the door open, so I started using the back door. I absolutely loved being here, and it had all of the historical charm I was expecting. It's too bad I was here on a Saturday night and nothing was open on Sunday to do, that's the only downfall.
