Rattle and Snap is a Greek Revival mansion in Tennessee. It was built by George W. Polk, a relative of president James K. Polk. It is said to have been given its name from the fact that the land on which it was built was won from the Governor of North Carolina in a game of chance called 'Rattle and Snap'.[3]
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971.[1][4]
It is located on Andrew Jackson Highway, Tennessee Route 43, near Columbia.[4]
