Welcome to the Sam Davis Home!

Follow the cedar-lined lane back to the 1800's, where you will hear the story of Civil War Legend, Sam Davis, and visit his family's house.

Located in Smyrna, Tennessee, The Sam Davis Home was built along the banks of Stewarts Creek in 1810. This historical home and museum rests on 160 acres of farmland just outside the Nashville area. The two-story home is characteristic of a Southern, upper middle-class family of those times.

Begin your trip to the Sam Davis Home with a documentary video about the life of Sam Davis and visit through the museum. Afterward, enjoy a guided tour through the nine room main house, the original kitchen, smokehouse, overseer's office, and privy. Authentic Middle Tennessee slave dwellings can also be seen on the site.
