Along the way, guides in period clothing will explore tragedies that befell the Jackson family, unusual experiences of Andrew Jackson and unexplained incidents at the site. Hear about strange encounters such as the spirits of the Battle of New Orleans and Jackson’s infamous meeting with Tennessee’s Bell Witch.

Breeden’s Orchard

Lain Tomlinson is back for another season at the Breeden’s Orchard Farmers Market! Join him for some live music while you shop with local vendors and enjoy the beautiful scenery! This family-friendly event has activities for people of all ages, and it makes a great Friday night outing! Lain Tomlinson is a country singer/songwriter born and raised right outside of Nashville. Having spent time in both Middle Tennessee and North Texas, his music has a traditional country sound with a Texas blend that gives a sense of nostalgia with a modern touch. His debut album, Old Country Love Song, illustrates this sound through the lyrics and also through the music, which was recorded with members of the legendary Kenny Rogers band at Scenic Ridge Records & Studio in Mt. Juliet.
