Rippavilla Plantation, Greek Revival plantation house in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
The Rippavilla Plantation features four fireplaces, a full-height entry porch, and occupies 98 acres of historic grounds with multiple structures.
Construction of the main residence began in 1851 under Nathaniel Cheairs IV, with three interruptions due to his dissatisfaction with building progress.
The property includes an original slave cabin and cemetery, serving as educational resources about the lives of enslaved people during the plantation era.
The City of Spring Hill maintains the property as a museum with regular guided tours through the restored interiors and landscaped grounds.
Confederate General John Bell Hood established his headquarters at Rippavilla before the 1864 Battle of Franklin, using the mansion for military strategy meetings.
