Description: Historic Rugby in Tennessee is a preserved Victorian village founded in 1880 by British author Thomas Hughes as a utopian community for younger sons of British gentry. Nestled in the scenic Cumberland Plateau, the village features over 20 original and restored Victorian buildings, including the Hughes Public Library and Kingstone Lisle, Hughes's home. Despite the challenges that prevented the community from fully thriving, Rugby remains a fascinating historical site offering guided tours, cultural programs, and outdoor activities amidst its lush surroundings. Managed by the non-profit Historic Rugby, Inc., the village continues to inspire visitors with its unique blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty.
