Travellers Rest, Historic plantation house in Nashville, Tennessee.
The plantation house features a central two-story structure with additional rooms, formal boxwood gardens, and auxiliary buildings from the 1830s, including a weaving house.
Judge John Overton, appointed by President George Washington, constructed Travellers Rest in 1799 following the ratification of the United States Constitution.
The property contains artifacts from Mississippian Native American settlements and exhibits detailing the lives of enslaved individuals who lived on the plantation.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with guided tours starting each hour from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM.
During the Battle of Nashville in December 1864, Confederate General John Bell Hood established his military headquarters at Travellers Rest.
