Romantic History


What better backdrop for a wedding than an historic home with a romantic history? That is exactly what Rock Castle, located on Old Hickory Lake, offers to couples seeking the perfect wedding venue.

The house boasts a romantic history due to the elopement of Polly Smith, daughter of the Castle's builder, General Daniel Smith. Andrew Jackson helped Polly elope by bringing a ladder to her bedroom window, where she climbed down and travelled to the Jacksons' home. There she married Samuel Donelson, Rachel Jackson's favorite brother.
