The Fite-Fessenden House is a historic house in Lebanon, Tennessee, U.S.. It is now home to the Wilson County Museum.
Construction on the house began in 1852.[1] It was built for Dr James Leonidas Fite, a surgeon who went on to serve in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.[1] After the war, his daughter Margaret Harsh founded a private all-girl school in the house known as the Alberta School.[1]
In 1921, the house was purchased by Mr Fessenden, the owner of the Fessenden Coal Company.[1] It was later inherited by his wife, Sallie Barry Fessenden.[1] After her death, it became the Wilson County Museum.[2] [3]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 5, 1985.[4]
