The Old Campbell Farm - 歴史的、ファミリー向け、人気の観光スポット

Owned and lovingly restored by Jim and Pam, lifelong residents of Franklin, The Old Campbell Farm is more than just a vacation rental—it's a piece of living history. Jim's family has deep roots in the Iotla Valley, farming these lands since 1879. In 2011, Jim and Pam embarked on a journey to preserve and share the rich heritage of this historical farm. Your hosts are dedicated to ensuring your stay is as memorable as it is comfortable. They live nearby, and they love to meet new folks and provide the perfect home-away-from-home for the enjoyment of their guests! In fact, The Old Campbell Farm is the first of two historic properties Jim and Pam have preserved and have made available as vacation homes. The Dock Barnard Farm, a beautifully restored 1890's Folk Victorian home, is located less than a half-mile away. The properties complement one another and can make the perfect combination for larger-family vacations.

Jim personally knew Fannie Campbell Tallent, the most recent descendant of the Campbell Family to live at The Old Campbell Farm, so there always has been a sense of closeness to the 1884 farmstead. After the property left the Campbell family in the 1970's, and after a succession of owners, The Old Campbell Farm eventually fell into a sad state of disrepair. Jim and Pam were fortunate to purchase the property, adding the 4-acre tract to their farm where they specialize in growing Angus cattle and timber. The meadow at the Old Campbell Farm produces hay each year for their cattle herd. They especially love the large lawn, the beautiful hosta beds, listening to the burble of the creek from the rocking chairs on the screen porch, and watching for wildlife! But more importantly, they loved restoring and preserving The Old Campbell Farm, a truly wonderful historical treasure!!

Whether you stay for a weekend, a week, or a month, The Old Campbell Farm can be home base to explore everything from Dollywood in nearby Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. Go hiking in the Smokies, bicycle riding on marked trails and paved routes, motorcycle riding on challenging mountain roads, and strolling along the country lane that leads to the Farm. After dinner (or supper, as we say in the mountains) sit on the screened porch or take a walk in the meadow to catch the last light of day and perhaps a glimpse of a doe and her fawn.
