Rattle and Snap

William Polk, original owner of the property, won 5,648 acres of land in a game of chance called "Rattle and Snap" and divided it between his four sons. George Polk built this mansion, named after the game and known as one of the best examples of Greek Revival residential architecture in the country. The home is open to the public for tours (advance reservations required, admission charged). The Carriage House on the property is available for overnight stays. It is one of two National Historic Landmarks in Maury County.
