Samuel Morton House

Williamson County, Tennessee's Samuel Morton House was constructed circa 1850, not far away from the Mayberry home place, Beechwood Hall. The house was the center of one of Williamson County's largest plantations. The home features a central hall floor plan, with Greek Revival detailing. The home was originally constructed of logs, but was covered with weatherboard when nominated to the National Register. This weatherboard has since been removed exposing the logs, as seen above. By 1859, Morton owned 1,025 acres, and nine slaves. His land was valued at $12,000. In the 1880s, the property was sold out of the Morton family and has passed through a series of private owners. In 1988 the home was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Samuel Morton House is currently for sale as part of the Beechwood Hall listing (linked below, and see article from March 14, 2019). The Samuel Morton House is just another beautiful home throughout Tennessee that has been wonderfully preserved.
