This house was constructed 1850-1853 and was situated near Camp Trousdale, a major Confederate training camp early in the war, at times holding more than 6,000 men. The camp, consisting of tents and huts, was abandoned after the fall of Forts Henry and Donelson. Soon, thousands of Union troops streamed by this home on their way deeper into Tennessee.
