Rock Castle, Historic limestone mansion in Sumner County, Tennessee, US.
The Rock Castle residence features an inverted L-shaped design with four ground floor rooms constructed from native limestone and timber materials.
General Daniel Smith constructed this estate between 1784 and 1797 on a 3,140-acre land grant received for his Revolutionary War service.
The property includes the Smith Family Cemetery, containing over fifty graves of family members with stone markers quarried from the same limestone.
The mansion offers guided tours through its Federal-style interior, providing detailed information about General Smith's contributions to Tennessee's development.
The property extends across 18 acres along Old Hickory Lake, created in 1954 when the US Army Corps of Engineers constructed a dam.
