MAIN INFORMATION

Exchange Place was once the center of a more than 2,000 acre plantation where life existed independently. It served as the stop for 19th century travelers along the Old Stage Road where Virginia currency was exchanged for Tennessee currency and tired horses were exchanged for fresh ones. The site was once a community that served as a self-supporting plantation, a relay station along the Old Stage Road and the Post Office for Eden's Ridge, TN. Exchange Place -- the Gaines-Preston Farm recaptures life in the early 1800s. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, nine of the ten buildings built between 1816 and 1851 are restored on their original foundations. As part of Exchange Place's commitment to preserve 19th century agricultural life, period livestock now reside on the farm. Domestic skills, including washing, spinning, weaving, ironing, quilting, candle dipping and basketry, are frequently demonstrated during festivals and by special arrangements.

The Cross in Crown is the only quilt at Exchange Place that belonged to Preston family. The original on display at Roseland Visitors Center. It was probably made as a summer quilt as it does not have a filling.

Exchange Place Farm has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
