Maden Hall Farm

Also called the Fermanagh-Ross Farm, this historic farm near the town of Greeneville was established in the 1820s by William Ross, II. The farmstead consists of a farmhouse and six outbuildings situated on the remaining 17 acres of what was once a 300-acre antebellum farm. Maden Hall has been designated a Tennessee Century Farm and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Greene County enjoys a rich heritage of historic buildings and places. The Greene County Heritage Trust maintains a register of places and buildings that contribute to the historic, architectural, or cultural character of our community.

The Greene County Register of Historic Places is maintained for educational purposes and to preserve information and memories related to the community’s historic buildings and locations. Criteria for nominations include:

 

  • Buildings must still be standing in the original location

Since the Greene County Heritage Trust was established as a local nonprofit 501(c)3 organization in 1973,  its primary mission has been to help protect, preserve, and/or restore Greeneville and Greene County structures, sites, and artifacts that are part of our countywide community’s rich historic and cultural legacy. In addition, working with other similar groups, the Trust seeks to increase public awareness of that legacy, and build respect and appreciation for it.
