Ramsey House Plantation is a 1797 stone home nestled on over 100 beautiful acres, complete with heritage gardens. The Georgian style house, built by English Architect Thomas Hope for Col. Francis Ramsey, is constructed of limestone and Tennessee Marble. The house has been called the “finest home in Tennessee”, and is furnished in period décor to reflect the life of Col. Ramsey and his family until 1820.

With over 100 acres, the site hosts picnic areas and heirloom gardens for guests to visit. Location rentals are also available for any event you can imagine!
