3. President James K. Polk Home & Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 219 reviews
The only surviving residence of James K. Polk other than the White House. Samuel Polk, a prosperous farmer and surveyor, built the house in 1816 while his oldest son James was attending the University of North Carolina. When the future President graduated in 1818, he returned to Tennessee and stayed here with his parents until his marriage to Sarah Childress in 1824. While living in his family’s Columbia home, James practiced law and began his political career by successfully running for the state legislature. Visitors today get to see original possessions of President and Mrs. Polk including furniture, paintings, clothing, documents and White House china.

This is a great tour to take. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about Polk. We learned a lot. You can watch a video about Polk before taking the tour. Afterwards you are free to roam the gardens on your own. Price is very reasonable.

Alecia focused on architecture, family history, clothing, china, antiques instead of troup movements like the Carnton House tour guide. We spent over two hours there because we were so engaged but you could do it in less than an hour if you didn't have time. 2019 they plan to open a new museum next door, under construction in July 2018.
