BEECHWOOD PLANTATION

 The Beechwood Plantation house, which formerly stood at this site, was an important Confederate headquarters during the Tullahoma Campaign. It was built for Colonel Andrew Erwin, Jr. and family in 1826. The Erwins, who were southern sympathizers, lavishly entertained local society and Confederate officers during the Civil War. In 1863, General Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennesse was camped along the Duck River line. General William J. Hardee camped at Wartrace and made Beechwood his headquarters.
