| More Information (Hide Summary) |
Skipwith, built in 1818 by Cornelia Littlefield and her husband, is reported to be the oldest house in Maury County, Tennessee. The home and 608 acres that surround it were originally part of a 25,000 acre land grant made to Cornelia’s father, General Nathaniel Greene, Commander and Chief of the Army of the South in the American Revolutionary War. In the late 1830’s Skipwith was acquired by the Harlan family and came to play a central role in the history of Tennessee agriculture.
Pit sawed and hand hewed beams frame the house mortar-and-tenon style and have stood the test of time. It is rare indeed to find an antebellum home with its original features in such good condition. Original doors, hardware, windows, molding, and mantels grace the home. The original kitchen building, now a guest house, still stands behind the main house. Barns as old as the house add to Skipwith’s charm.
