The Benjamine Rucker House is a historic mansion in Rutherford County, Tennessee, U.S..
The house was built in 1832 for Benjamine Rucker, who inherited 300 acres from his father, settler James Rucker.[1] Rucker was the owner of 200 slaves.[1] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the house was ransacked by the Union Army.[1] After the war, it was inherited by his daughter Sophie and her husband, Colonel William Francis Betty.[1] Their daughter, Willie Betty Newman, became a painter in Paris and Nashville.
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 28, 1991.[2]
