| Tipton-Haynes is a State Historic Site and is on the National Register of Historic Places. At the Tipton-Haynes historic site, eleven buildings tell a story of Tennessee's history from early settlement to the Civil War era. Contained within the large white house is the 25' x 35' log cabin of Col. John Tipton. The Tiptons enlarged the home and built a shed porch across the front of the house and built a separate kitchen. In the 1850s, Haynes changed the front porch to what is seen today and constructed his law office next to the house. The main house is partially handicap accessible...
The outbuildings include a smokehouse, pigsty, loom house, still house, springhouse and the large log barn and corncrib from the Tipton period. In addition, there is the home of George Haynes, a slave with the Haynes family. Col. John Tipton is buried in the site's cemetery. The historic physical features are the Buffalo Trail that later became the Jonesborough, Tennessee - Morganton, North Carolina Stage Road, the cave where tradition says that Daniel Boone camped, and the wooded area that contains many flowers and plants of the earlier period. Visitors use a self directed guide to explore the Andre Michaux trail. Surrounding the historic buildings are herb, kitchen and vegetable gardens...
Visitors are greeted in the Tipton-Haynes Museum and Education Center. The museum houses the permanent and temporary exhibit areas, education and reception space, a museum shop, and a library and archives that relate to the early history of Tennessee, as well as the Tipton and Haynes families. All are wheelchair accessible. Click Here to visit their website... |
