Isaac Franklin Plantation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isaac Franklin Plantation, also known as Fairvue, is a plantation house in Gallatin, Tennessee. Fairvue Plantation was built in 1832 by Isaac Franklin (1789-1846). Franklin retired to be a planter after a successful career as a partner in the largest slave-trading firm in the South prior to the Civil War.

It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1977.

In 2005, its NHL status was withdrawn due to development that had damaged its historic integrity.
