Exchange Place maintains numerous historic buildings, many original to the antebellum Gaines/Preston farmstead, and others moved to the site from various regional locations. The original farmstead buildings and Roseland (moved from Shipp Street) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Maintaining these fragile buildings is an ongoing commitment that requires research, craftsmanship, manual labor, and financial resources. Please consider donating to help our efforts to steward the past through these unique historic structures. Visit our blog to read about recent restoration projects.
The mission of Exchange Place Living History Farm is to preserve and interpret the heritage of mid-19th century farm life in Northeast Tennessee. A private, non-profit organization, Exchange Place is maintained and operated primarily by volunteers and is supported by donations, fundraisers, memberships, and grants.
