Brabson's Ferry Plantation, Greek Revival plantation in Sevierville, Tennessee.

The plantation stands on Brabson Island in the French Broad River, featuring two plantation houses and an 18th-century plank house with classical columns.

John Brabson II established this plantation in 1798 after purchasing the ferry service, expanding it to become one of East Tennessee's largest estates by 1860.

The plantation contains a family cemetery located on a hill that provides views of the French Broad River and demonstrates regional agricultural traditions.

Researchers can access digital collections and historical documents related to the plantation at the University of Tennessee Libraries for study purposes.

The property maintains its status as a Pioneer Century farm, continuing agricultural operations under the management of Benjamin Davis Brabson III.
