Built in the early 1800’s by William Hardy Murfree, son of Murfreesboro’s founder, this building was later used by W.N.H. Smith, the first native son to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Tradition has it that the building has served variously as a theatre, jail, school, and post office. It currently houses the Murfreesboro Historical Association’s Gift Shop where you can find a wide assortment of gifts as well as local antiques and collectibles.
