Hale Springs Inn, built in 1824, is Tennessee's oldest continuously operating inn and one of the most historically significant buildings in the state, having hosted Presidents Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson within its Federal-style walls. The meticulously restored inn operates as a bed and breakfast and restaurant, offering guests an authentic 19th-century lodging experience with period furnishings and modern amenities. The first-floor dining room serves Southern cuisine in a setting unchanged in its essential character for 200 years. A destination unto itself for history-minded travelers.
