Marble Springs

Marble Springs is the name of the property in which Tennessee's first governor John Sevier resided. I chose this historic site because it is a beautiful site with the rich history of a man so important to Tennessee. John Sevier was a well known revolutionary war hero in the Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780. Sevier was the governor of the state of Franklin before he became the first governor of Tennessee. Marble Springs is the farm where he lived in his final years. The farm is 350 acres, named Marble Springs after the rose marble that had been quarried there and its natural springs that flow through the property. There are several houses on the property along with a cabin. The site offers an old fashion atmosphere and is very nice in the spring weather. On the way out you can check out the quaint little gift shop! I recommend making a visit to this historic place and I myself will make a return.
