The Exchange Place Historic Kingsport, Tennessee
4812 Orebank Road
Exchange Place, - a living history farm, is Kingsport's tonic for today's fast paced life. The site was once a community that served as a self-supporting plantation, a relay station along the Old Stage Road and the Post Office for Eden's Ridge, TE.
Exchange Place, originally the Gaines-Preston Farm, recaptures life in the early 1800s. The Historic Exchange Place is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and nine of the ten buildings built between 1816 and 1851 are restored on their original foundations. As part of the Exchange Place commitment to preserve 19th century agricultural life, period livestock now reside on the farm. Domestic skills, including washing, spinning, weaving, ironing, quilting, candle dipping and basketry, are frequently demonstrated during festivals and by special arrangements.
Exchange Place Sassafras "Exchanges" still take place today at the country store. Instead of exchanging currency, crafts made by local artisans may be purchased. Exchange Place is open for tours May through October and by special arrangement for hosting events. The Exchange Place is one of the featured stops on the "Haunted Historic Kingsport Bus Tour" and Appalachian GhostWalks "Spook and Study" Vacation Package.
