Spring Hill is in the southern section of the county and is located in both Williamson and Maury Counties. Native Americans once hunted on the land, including tribes from the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Shawnee. Today, historic mansions, churches, and plantations still stand, serving as a reminder of the early settlers who arrived with land grants. The most notable plantation is Rippavilla Plantation, built in 1855. The plantation offers tours of the 10,000 sq. ft. mansion, barns, and a slave cabin, all situated on 100 acres of rolling hills. Adjacent to the mansion is the Civil War site of the Battle of Spring Hill and Civil War cemeteries. Tour tickets are available for purchase at boft.org/rippavilla. Parks & Recreation Residents can enjoy plenty of green spaces to play, relax, or exercise at one of the city’s five parks.
