Trousdale Place
Marker # 3B 35
Text: “Built by John Bowen prior to 1820 and purchased in 1822 by William Trousdale, Governor of Tennessee, 1849-1851. He fought in the War of 1812, and the Creek, Seminole, and Mexican Wars, and was brevetted brigadier-general by President Polk in 1848. In 1900 the house was given to Clark Chapter No. 13 U.D.C. by Annie Berry Trousdale, wife of William Trousdale’s son, Julius, a Confederate veteran.”
Marker is somewhat easy to get to. Located near the intersection of Main Street and Locust Avenue. A local shop named Aggie's at the time I took the picture, provides free parking nearby, as well as to another nearby marker just down Main Street.
