The Harris-Holden House is a historic house on a former plantation in Lincoln County, Tennessee. It was built in 1860 for Joel M. Harris, a planter and slaveholder.[1] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the Union Army looked for victuals in the house.[1] In 1901, Harris took to sheep farming, but dogs ate his herd.[2] Harris died in 1914,[3] and the remaining slave cabins on the property were demolished in 1920.[1] By the 1970s, the house belonged to the Holden family.[1] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 19, 1975.
