The Thomas Woodard, Jr. Farm is a historic farmhouse in Cedar Hill, Tennessee, U.S.
History
The farmhouse was built circa 1838 for Thomas Woodard, Jr. of Woodard Hall, his wife Winnefred House Robertson, and their children.[2] Woodard owned distilled whiskey and grew tobacco.[2]
Woodard owned slaves who worked on the farm.[2] By 1860, he owned 14.[2] After the American Civil War of 1861–1865, most of his former slaves, who took the last name Woodard, became tenant farmers.[2] Both slaves and tenant farmers were buried in a cemetery on the property.[2]
The farm remained in the Woodard family until 1921, when it continued to be used to grow tobacco.[2] It is now a horse farm.[2]
Architectural significance
The house was designed in the Federal architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 8, 2008.[3]
