Historic Rock Castle
Trace back the origins of Tennessee and take a step into history in Tennessee’s oldest home, Historic Rock Castle. Having survived over 200 years, Historic Rock Castle was home to General Daniel Smith, who is credited with the first official drawing of the state of Tennessee. Taking over a decade to construct, Historic Rock Castle survived wars, Native American attacks, and the earth’s natural elements to continue to stand in its almost original state today.
