JAMES K. POLK ANCESTRAL HOME

COLUMBIA, TN

It's Pronounced "Santa Fee" When you're in Tennessee, the town of Santa Fe is pronounced different than the way they do it in New Mexico. I suppose this is a little tongue-in-cheek because most visitors to the area probably get it wrong. This is found at Kindred Farm along highway TN247 a couple of miles Southwest of Santa Fe in Maury County.

The James K. Polk Ancestral Home is a historic site located at 301 W 7th Street in Columbia, Tennessee. The house was built in 1816 by Samuel Polk, the father of James K. Polk, who would later become the 11th President of the United States. The house is a typical example of a Federal-style home of the early 19th century, featuring a symmetrical facade and a central hallway.

The Polk family lived in the house until 1833, when they moved to a larger home nearby. The house remained in private hands until 1929, when it was purchased by the State of Tennessee and opened as a museum. The house has been restored to its original appearance, with period furnishings and decorations that reflect the time when the Polk family lived there.

The James K. Polk Ancestral Home is open for tours, allowing visitors to explore the house and learn about the life and times of the Polk family. The site also includes a visitor center with exhibits about James K. Polk, his presidency, and his impact on American history. The James K. Polk Ancestral Home is one of only a few presidential homes that are not owned by the National Park Service, making it a unique and important part of American history.
