Blackburn Farmhouse

The Blackburn Farmstead is in Hohenwald, Tennessee. Travel US 412 about 0.8 mile past Big Swan Creek. This puts you heading East towards Gordonsburg and 1.6 miles from the turn off is the Gordonsburg Farm Market and 0.6 miles past that is the Blackburn Farmstead and Pioneer Museum on your left. The farm was built by Capt. Ambrose Blackburn around 1806. The home was originally a log cabin, but it is now covered in weatherboard. There are several pictures of it someone took here. Ambrose is actually buried on the farm site. He died in 1820.

The Blackburn Farmstead is actually for sale now according to their website at http://www.blackburn-farmstead.com
