Wynnewood State Historic Site

Wynnewood is a state historic site that includes the largest historic log structure in Tennessee. Built in 1828 by the Wynne family, the structure served as the Castalian Springs Resort for stagecoach travelers and tourists interested in the sulphur mineral springs and their reported medicinal powers, located at the base of the hill. The property came to Mrs. Almira Wynne as a bequest from her father, General James Winchester of nearby Cragfont. Almira and her husband AR moved the family into the resort and AR left his wife the management of operations while he traveled for business. The resort was also home to approximately 20-30 enslaved men, women, and children who worked at the resort and the agricultural operations on site. The Civil War ended the resort's operations, and they were not picked up again until a resurgence in 1899. The site is currently owned by the Tennessee Historical Commission and managed by nonprofit Historic Castalian Springs.

Cragfont State Historic Site

General James Winchester's grand frontier home, Cragfont is located on the original road from Knoxville and the East coast, The house stood as a grand and prominent landmark for those making their way west. Originally hunting grounds for local native American peoples, 33 year old James and his brother George arrived in 1785 and quickly established a fort on land given for their service in the American Revolution. By 1802, Winchester built his home Cragfont, occupied by his growing family and the enslaved community until 1863. Following the Civil War, the remaining family members sold the home and in 1957, it became a state historic site.

Historic Rock Castle

Reviewed By NewTennesseans

Historic Rock Castle is a true gem! My wife discovered their concert series shortly after we moved to Gallatin from California. Sam and the superb staff have done a wonderful job of making this very special venue a total pleasure during our multiple visits over the past year. The historic setting, talented entertainment, food and libation, and nice folks have won us over. Back for more at the Castle this next season.

Farmer Brown's Produce & General Store

Reviewed By MooreB70 - Alabama, United States

Such a cute shop. The couple running it were so sweet and helpful. She was shelling peas on the porch and he was inside the store. I loved the cowboy cookies and the fudge. Bought several items we’re going to try once we get home. I ask about wearing a mask. They said it is up to the person. So the review about the owner not wearing the mask is very rude. If you are that scared of the virus then you need to stay home!!!! It is there shop and property. We will definitely visits again. Such a quaint little shop with adorable owners. ROLL TIDE!!!

Historic Rose Mont

Reviewed By Mudsocks

We had a most delightful tour today, thank you Eli and Cass!! Learned so much, inside and out, and even toured the “haunted room”. This is not a “house-museum”. While being maintained and preserved as an historic mansion, it’s at the same time open for use by private events (weddings, derby parties, season related themes). Just go.
