Buckingham House (Sevierville, Tennessee)

The Buckingham House, built in 1796, is the oldest house in Sevier County, Tennessee, and a notable example of Federal architectural style. Constructed by Thomas Buckingham, the first sheriff of the county, this historic brick house offers a glimpse into early American history and the region's transition from Cherokee land to European settlement. Overlooking the scenic French Broad River, the house was expanded in 1890 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in Tennessee's heritage.
