Rocky Mount

This served as the capital of the Territory of the United States South of the Ohio River when President George Washington appointed William Blount the territorial governor in 1790. The site was Blount's center for state affairs until a new capitol was built at Knoxville in 1792.

The Rocky Mount log farmhouse, built 1770-72, has been restored to its original appearance. Costumed guides portray members of the Cobb family, who first settled in Rocky Mount, and conduct living-history tours explaining the many original furnishings in the main building; they also demonstrate pioneer crafts and skills.
