Holly Tree summer camp visits the Sam Davis home!!

Our school-aged summer camp program goes on two field trips per week! We try to make one educational and one a fun trip! This week the classroom visited the historical Sam Davis home. Who is Sam Davis? Sam Davis was born on October 6, 1842 in Rutherford County, TN. He joined the army before TN had officially seceded from the union. He took part in the battles of Shiloh, Perryville, and Stones River! 

On the farm in Smyrna, you will find the original log cabin he grew up in and also the house he was raised in. We got to take a tour of the inside of the house and walk the grounds. It was very interesting to say the least! History is so amazing! 

The kids got to have a picnic lunch on the grounds. We also got to watch a video in the theatre about his life. 

Overall, it was a very fun field trip! You can find out more information by visiting the website at: http://samdavishome.org
