The Homeplace is an 1850's working living history farm that gives visitors a chance to step back in time and get a glimpse of life on a 19th century farm in middle Tennessee. The farm has 15 original and restored log structures, gardens, crop fields, and heritage breed animals. Interpreters in period clothing demonstrate daily chores and traditional skills used on a middle-class farm allowing for a unique look at how life has changed over the past 150+ years.

We start our evening chores with the adorable Parade of Chickens, featuring our beloved Scissors the Hen. It's a Homeplace Tradition! Then we say goodnight to the young whippersnappers on the farm, our pigs. Finally, you can help us herd our sheep to the front of the farm... well actually, they already know the way. It's a sheep's world, and we're just living in it. Get up close and personal with the real stars of the farm, our ANIMALS!

An important source of food for the families of the 1850s was the garden. The garden provided a variety of different fruits and vegetables that supplemented the staples they could buy and trade for at the local market. An interpreter will be available today in at least one of the two major food hotspots on our farm, the garden and the kitchen. Say hello and learn how we grew, ate, and preserved our bounty in an era before refrigeration!

The Campaign for Forts Henry and Donelson involved navigating almost 70 miles of rivers and roads, as well as coordinating thousands of troops, a river fleet, and almost a dozen commanders. Fighting took place in multiple areas over a sizable portion of land and on the water. This complex campaign skyrocketed Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant to fame and marked the beginning of the end for the Confederacy in the western theater.

This "Battlefield in a Box" program is an interactive visual program designed to allow visitors to participate in telling the story. Visitors attending the program can expect to better understand what took place and where it happened while having a memorable experience! The program is open to groups and people of all ages and is an excellent program for families.

Programs are subject to staffing availability. In the interest of safety, in the event of inclement weather, programs are subject to cancelation. Information as to program status will be available online, or by contacting the Ranger office at 931-232-0576.

To defend Fort Donelson, Confederates used soldiers and enslaved people to construct trenches along several ridge lines close to the fort and the town of Dover. Along multiple high points they placed cannons to guard approaches along creek beds. Two of the overlooked but important batteries were Maney's and Graves'. Both guarded Indian Creek, and some of the hardest fighting of the campaign took place there on the afternoon of February 13, 1862.

Join a Ranger on the 3rd Saturday of the month to go on a .6-mile roundtrip hike. Explore the events of Brigadier General John A. McClernand's attack on Maney's Battery that became the most controversial Union attack at Fort Donelson. The attack failed and brush fires burned wounded and dead Union soldiers. Was this attack, as later reported by Ulysses S. Grant in his memoirs, carried out "without orders or authority," or, according to John McClernand, was it carried out "within the spirit of your order…"? Attend the program to learn about this overlooked part of the battle for Fort Donelson!

Please be aware that while the hike is short, the hill is very steep and uneven. Please wear sturdy closed-toed shoes and be prepared to go up several hundred feet in elevation.
