The John M. Fleming Home Place, also known as Duke Farm, is a historic mansion in Collierville, Tennessee, U.S..
The house was built circa 1850 for a South Carolinian couple, John M. Fleming and his wife Eliza Moseley.[1] By 1850, they owned 13 male slaves and 11 female slaves.[1] The grounds included a slave cemetery from 1851 to 1935.[1] After the American Civil War of 1861–1865, slaves were replaced by sharecroppers.[1] Fleming's son, Samuel T. Fleming, lived on the property until 1913, and it was purchased by the Duke family in 1924.[1] The Dukes used sharecroppers until the 1960s.[1]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 6, 1990.[2]
