The Lairdland Farm House is a historic farmhouse in Giles County, Tennessee, U.S..

History

The land belonged to Thomas J. Lane when it was purchased by Robert Henderson Laird in the 1830.[2] Shortly after, Laird built the farmhouse, and he designed it in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, it served as a hospital for the Confederate States Army.[3]

In 1867, it was passed on to Laird's daughter and her husband, James Knox Polk Blackburn.[2] It was subsequently inherited by their son, Dr. James K. P. Blackburn.[2] By the 1990s, the house belonged to James T. Blackburn IV.[2] In 2002, it was purchased by Donald Rouleau.[3]

The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 7, 1995.[4] It has a Civil War museum open to the public.[3]
