One of Tennessee's most significant historic properties, Tipton-Haynes preserves the homestead where pivotal events of the State of Franklin unfolded in the 1780s and 1790s. The eight-acre site features the original log home, cave, spring house, and law office used by John Tipton and Landon Carter Haynes. Guided tours illuminate the frontier era, the Civil War's impact, and life on the Overmountain frontier. A limestone cave on the property adds geological interest to the historical richness.
