None

None

Following is a list of sites and structures in Tennessee that have been designated National Historic Landmarks. There are 31 National Historic Landmarks located entirely in the state, and one that includes elements in both Tennessee and Mississippi. All National Historic Landmarks are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In addition to the National Historic Landmarks, six historic areas in Tennessee that are listed on the National Register are administered by the National Park Service. These are Cumberland Gap National Historical Park (shared with Kentucky and Virginia), established in 1940; the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site, established as a National Monument in 1935 and redesignated a National Historic site in 1963; and four Civil War sites:

  • Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park (shared with Georgia), established 1890; the park now includes the Moccasin Bend Archeological District that is separately designated a National Historic Landmark;
  • Fort Donelson National Battlefield, established 1928;
  • Shiloh National Military Park, established 1894; the Native American mounds in the park are separately designated as a National Historic Landmark; and
  • Stones River National Battlefield, established 1927.

Isaac Franklin Plantation[[Image:Fairvue, U.S. Highway 31-E, Gallatin vicinity Sumner County, Tennessee.jpg100px]]19772005Gallatin
SumnerFairvue Plantation was built in 1832 by Isaac Franklin. Franklin retired to be a planter after a successful career as a partner in the largest slave-trading firm in the South prior to the Civil War. Loss of historic integrity due to physical alterations and construction of a golf course community around the home led to the withdrawal of National Historic Landmark designation.
Nashville Union Station and Trainshed[[File:Nashville Tennessee Union Station 2006.jpg100pxPhotograph of the front of Nashville Union Station in 2006, five years after demolition of the trainshed.]]19752003Nashville
DavidsonThe station and trainshed were built in the 1890s by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad as a major transfer station for routing passengers to the Midwest and West. The trainshed was the longest single-span, gable roof structure constructed in the United States. The trainshed was demolished in 2001 due to dangerous structural deterioration, leading to withdrawal of National Historic Landmark designation.
