Harlinsdale Farm

Harlinsdale Farm is a property spanning about 200 acres with Queen Anne style architecture and a central horse stable positioned near the main road. The site contains 14 historical buildings and several structures that date from the early twentieth century.

W.W. Harlin founded the farm in 1933 and made it famous through Midnight Sun, a Tennessee Walking Horse stallion that won two World Grand Championships. These successes established the property as a major center for horse breeding in the region.

The farm became known for breeding Tennessee Walking Horses and shaped how people in the region think about farming traditions. Visitors can see how the property was built around the life and work with these animals.

The farm is located on Franklin Road and functions as a public park with walking trails, equestrian facilities, and a dog park. Visitors should wear comfortable clothes for outdoor exploration and bring appropriate gear based on the season.

Midnight Sun, the famous stallion who established the farm's reputation, had a dark chestnut coat and his bloodline shaped breeding standards for the entire horse breed. His legacy continues to influence what Tennessee Walking Horses look like and how they are valued globally.
