Local hero of the Confederacy. A beautiful plantation-style home and grounds. Wonderful for a fall afternoon.

The Sam Davis Home is a gem located in Smyrna, TN. A great story about a military hero. I happen to live a couple of miles from the property and still visit whenever I get the chance. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Went there many times and I am sure you would enjoy the tour and seeing the grounds especially when the rein-actors are there !

Had a beautiful day for the field trip, the weather couldn't have been any better. The staff was very helpful and great with the kids. My son's fifth grade class was stuck on the bus for an extra 40 min due to a wreck, but we had plenty of time for the activities they had planned for us. The favorite... More

We rented the facilities for a family reunion. The history buffs in the family were very impressed and we all enjoyed the experience. I especially loved the tour of the home and found the tour guides to be very pleasant and informative. My favorite time of the year at Te Sam Davis home is during the holiday season.

I really enjoyed my visit at the Sam Davis Home. After a nice tour of the home and some of the grounds, we watched a short video about Mr. Davis and his family. The museum as nice too. Folks were permitted to pick herbs from the herb garden, which I thought was a nice little touch. The tour guide was... More

I took my second grade class there during their Harvest Days. It was well organized and really held my students' interest. They really enjoyed the museum also. The wait to get into the house, and the house itself, were probably the least favorite parts. The outside activities were wonderful. However, just to tour on another day, I would probably find...

I've been here 2x with my children. Once for a family day, and previously for a field trip with my child. If you're a history buff, go on a cold Saturday! We were the only visitors, and our tour guide showed us unseen things, and explained in tons of depth all about the home and historic significance. Perhaps, I'm a... More

My wife and I recently went to the Sam Davis family home and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our guide was young and a bit inexperienced, but very enthusiastic and helpful. The home and grounds need some work but they probably don't get the funds more famous homes get. The museum and movie were interesting although not very long to see... More

"WOW" My husband and I visited this home Memorial weekend. We did not know much about Sam Davis when we arrived but that soon changed after the very informative guided tour and the film!! Thank goodness for the wonderful people who spend many hours keeping history alive!!! It is well worth your time and admission is very reasonable. We were... More
