The Brown-Chenault House, also known as Campbell Farm, is a historic house in Castalian Springs, Tennessee, United States.

History

The farmhouse was built as a log house circa 1835 for George T. Brown, his wife and their children. ^[2] Brown was a farmer who owned 4 slaves in 1838. ^[2]

The farm was purchased by David Chenault, the owner of Greenfield, in 1850. ^[2] Chenault, whose father was a French immigrant, lived on the two properties with his wife, nine sons and four daughters. ^[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, his son Colby Chenault joined the Confederate States Army and served under General John Hunt Morgan. ^[2] In 1867, Colby moved into the house, where he lived with his wife, Araminta Harper, and their nine children. ^[2]

The farmhouse has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 25, 1985. ^[3]
