Went for the Batey farms sunflower fields. Absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful experience. They had a snow cone vendor. Cut flowers were available for sale and props for rent. Lots of families taking pictures and enjoying the fields. What I saw of the grounds and museum was pretty, but the lost cause interpretation is still apparent. Seems like theyre making an effort to be more inclusive.

Beautiful place & grounds. Havent yet explored the museum parts as I have only been here to bring my toddler to their Toddler Tuesday events that happen once a month (last Tues of the month all year long). Its only $5 for the kids event! They also host other family friendly events throughout the year. Super friendly staff, plenty of free parking, nice gift shop w/snacks +beverages available to buy as well.

Came down from Indiana for some history we loved it our tour guide was amazing thanks we enjoyed

Wonderful historical site! The people are so friendly and knowledgeable!

This is the site of Batey farms sunflower show this year. Fees go to non-profit group. The Sam Davis home itself looks interesting: an educational opportunity about the war, slavery, how people lived in his time. As a history nut, I would find it interesting. However, not sure how long children would.

Omg AMAZING! Rodger is the best tour guide I have ever had! Totally made the trip! And i learned so much thanks to him. I recommend anyone interested in history to visit.

The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. I was saddened to see the damage to the property from the airplane crash last year, and was disappointed the Navy wouldnt honor its obligation to make repairs to a federally recognized historic site. I truly enjoyed my visit and will return again.

Another place my cousin from South Dakota wanted to visit. we took her and enjoyed it so much especially the tour guide and Im sorry I cannot remember his name but he had a lot of information to share and he took pictures of us which I thought was wonderful customer service. Ive lived here for a lot of years and have never been until she came down to visit. One place you should visit, has a lot of history. A lot of the history is sad but history is history and we learn from it.

A sad story yet a wonderful tour! Very good visit!

Great stop! Grounds, scenery, and history. Roger was a great tour guide.

Thank God places like this still exist. Davis was, and is, a true Southern hero.

First let me tell you, it was pouring down rain and Taylor still showed us around, he did a phenomenal job. I would have never expected him to do what he did yet he did it like a pro. He was drenched and didnt once complain. Now about this place. Before we came, we had no clue who Sam Davis was but after we left, our hearts cried out for him. What a true American hero! His story and this experience moved me. If you are in town and have the time, I highly recommend this place. We did the battlefield and this place. If you only have time for one, do this over the other!

Awesome place to visit

The land is beautiful! The Wine on the Veranda was a nice event. We really enjoyed ourselves when we didnt think too much about where we were.And I know that this was a home of Confederates but I wish they focused more on the fact that they had slaves instead of honoring the owners. I also didnt like the selling of Confederate flags or the fact that they were hanging around. It is history, so put one in a case and display it in the museum but dont have them hanging around and for sell. If they are trying to attract new people to the place, I believe they will have to change things so that everyone feels comfortable. A statue or some kind of memorial to the people who were slaves there would be a great. And I thinking adding some diversity to the staff could help with that.

Absolutely beautiful!

One of the few historic homes that still has family furniture, carpet and wallpaper... Even the skeleton key and lock, (and the rose bushes Ive heard are from the time the family lived there). The property went from the family to the state of Tennessee directly... Wonderful tour and historical experience.

Not much information on the son. But lots of good information about the familys history and how his demise came about. Great tour. We did the house and grounds tour. Takes about an hour an a half. Watch the video at the beginning, itll cover things about Sam. Great tour.

I was married there in 1997. My daughter got married there last weekend. It was great. They are a very reasonable place to hold events like weddings.

Came all the way down from New York state to see this place and it wasnt even open! Hours are posted 10am to 4pm Monday thru Saturday and we tried two times to see it! Very disappointed! They should post on the web AND on the gate when they arent going to be open during their regular hours so people dont waste their time coming down here!!!!

This place is incredible! Its a beautiful property and the people who work there are wonderful and some of the nicest people I have met. I had a birthday party for my 1 year old daughter and they made it so easy. The museum was great and I absolutely encourage people to check this place out, especially for events.

Fun experiences on a nice day.

Wonderful tour from knowledgeable and entertaining guides. Beautiful grounds and museum. Wheelchairs may have some difficulty moving through grass and gravel. Mulch walkways would improve this issue.

Small town history, fun visit, very cool place

Just went there to buy local honey. But toured there over the summer. So interesting! Nice employees!

My husband took me there for the haunted tour of the house and grounds. They had a surgical seen setup on the grounds of the house. Over all very informative and the stories were creepy.

Beautiful property especially in the fall. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff

Nice to see some history.

Very nice people that work there

EXCELLENT haunted hayride for Halloween!!!

Very fun place. Went on a field trip here and we didnt learn a lot. My suggestion would be give yourself plenty time so you can read about the different things yourself.

Great place to have an event and learn great history too.

Important part of Tennessee history.

Great people working here that will answer any question you have. Youre sure to learn something new and interesting.

Excellent Tour...

Learn about history in one of the funist way I have ever experienced, or help out for community service. A fun way to learn and help children.

One of kind farm from the past to experience life and learn.

Very nice place to know as bour the history of the area

I still remember when I went when I was little

Very well maintained and great staff, tried the ghost tour and the staff were not over the top on scare antics just a sparce few and guides were respectful of the history while the showed the home and grounds.

Neat experience!

Tour was great and interesting awesome people

Its a great, comprehensive tour!

Awesome place. Takes you back to a time of simplicity.

My first time to go it was awsome

Wonderful educational experience.

Very nicely establishment

Came and no one home

Thank you for true history

Fun

Personnel that runs the place are not cooperative and hard to get along with!

Historic location
