Rogersville Historic District

Rogersville Historic District is a historic district in Rogersville, Tennessee, featuring buildings from the late 1700s through the 1800s. Residential and commercial structures display Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian architectural styles from different periods.

The district was established in 1786 when Joseph Rogers received approval from the North Carolina General Assembly to found the town. Throughout the 1800s, it grew into a regional center for commerce and government.

The district preserves multiple structures that reflect the evolution of architectural preferences and building techniques in East Tennessee through the centuries.

Small plaques on buildings throughout the district provide information about individual structures and their historical details. The area is best explored on foot, allowing you to notice architectural details and walk at your own pace.

The Hale Springs Inn built in 1824 and the Hawkins County Courthouse from 1836 showcase early construction methods from that era. These two buildings reveal building techniques and craftsmanship that characterized the region at that time.
