As the oldest home in Shelby County, TN, right outside Memphis, Davies Manor preserves and interprets local history from around 1830-1930, the rough time frame the house was inhabited. Take an immersive tour through the log cabin set up with artifacts from the Davies family as well as others donated from the area. Inside the Manor house is also a temporary exhibit room that changes every 2-3 months and the permanent exhibit "Omitted in Mass" which explores the Davies family involvement in enslavement and sharecropping in the area. The historic house sits on 37 acres and includes additional outbuildings, gardens, animals, and walking trails through the woods.

    Davies Manor Historic Site in Bartlett, United States, is a well-preserved example of early Tennessee architecture and history. The site features a restored log cabin built in the 1830s, which serves as the centerpiece of the property. Visitors can explore the historic home and its period furnishings, gaining insight into 19th-century life in the region.

    The grounds include beautiful gardens and nature trails, offering a peaceful setting for visitors to enjoy.

    While the site offers an authentic glimpse into the past, some visitors have noted that the exhibits are somewhat limited in scope. The property is relatively small, which may not warrant a long visit for some tourists. Additionally, accessibility might be an issue for visitors with mobility concerns, as the historic nature of the site means not all areas are easily navigable.
