History
The land was home to Cherokee people until European settlers, led by John Sevier, forced them off the land between 1776 and 1785. Thomas Buckingham subsequently purchased the land from Sevier and served as the first sheriff of Sevier County, Tennessee.
Buckingham and his brother Ephriam built the Buckingham House in 1796. The house, which overlooks the French Broad River, was designed in the Federal architectural style. An ell, with two rooms and a porch, was added to the house by 1890.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 18, 1971.
