Review:
Historic Rock Castle is a lovely Federal-style estate that was originally constructed in 1784 by Virginian surveyor Daniel Smith, who would go on to serve as a United States Senator and national commissioner for negotiations regarding America's indigenous groups. The estate, which is located along the banks of the beautiful Drake's Creek, remained in the Smith family for more than 200 years before being converted into a living history museum facility. Today, the home stands as Middle Tennessee's oldest residence, remaining in nearly the exact same condition as it was when it was constructed. Visitors can explore the beautiful home as part of guided tours, which showcase the lives and careers of the Smith family and the impact of their cultural legacy. Special events hosted at the estate throughout the year include a Songwriters' Night Concert Series and an Easter Wonderland Egg Hunt event.
