From the TN guidebook, we learn:
HARRIS HOME (open). This large square two-story brick structure was erected early in the nineteenth century by Elijah Simerly. During the War Between the States, it was the home of Nathaniel E. Harris, a Confederate sympathizer. Ostracized by his Unionist neighbors after the war, Harris moved to Georgia where he became prominent in politics; he was the last Confederate veteran elected Governor of Georgia. After war bitterness died down, the Harris family returned here each summer. A great spring in the back yard discharges 7 million gallons of pure freestone water daily and is the source of the municipal water supply of Elizabethton.
