Fairvue Plantation Plaque
*The Fairvue Plantation is affirmed on this date in 1832. The Fairvue was a plantation house in Gallatin, Tennessee.
It was built for Isaac Franklin. Franklin retired to be a planter there after a career as a partner in the South's largest slave-trading firm before the American Civil War. After his death, his widow inherited the property. The land of the former estate was long cultivated for agriculture. Part of the Antebellum South, Fairvue was named a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
The Club at Fairvue Plantation opened in 2004. In 2005, the House's historic landmark status was withdrawn due to a development that had damaged its historic integrity. Much of the plantation property was developed for a gated community of large, luxury suburban mansions.
