About US
Experience the Beauty and Grace of the Home of a Confederate Hero
at The Sam Davis Home.
The Sam Davis Home, which was built along the banks of Stewarts Creek in 1820, rests on 168 acres of farmland. The two-story home is typical of a Southern, upper middle-class family of those times. A tour includes a documentary video about the life of Sam Davis and a tour through the nine room main house, original kitchen, smokehouse, overseer's office and privy. Authentic Middle Tennessee slave dwellings can be seen on the site.
Located in historic Smyrna, Tennessee, the Sam Davis Home stands as a monument to the unselfish courage of a young Confederate
soldier. Faced with the choice of freedom or death on the
gallows, the twenty-one year old Davis chose the latter. His
decision has been immortalized in the history of the Civil
War. For seventy years, the Sam Davis Home, under the
direction of the Sam Davis Memorial Association, has been
dedicated to educating the public, especially children, about the life of Sam Davis and the life of an upper middle class farm family in Tennessee between 1850 and 1877. Your class can relive a day in the life of the Davis family, with unique tour experiences and outreach programs designed for all ages and ability levels.
