Gordon died shortly after it was completed, but Mrs. Gordon lived here until her death in 1859. In 1978 the National Park Service restored the house to its original appearance. A 10-minute walk from here leads to a section of the original Natchez Trace and the Duck River ferry site. The Gordon House is Stop No. 51 on the Tennessee Antebellum Trail . The Gordon House is located at mile marker 407.7 on the Trace at a rest stop near Shady Grove in Hickman County.
Restrooms are available there.
Access to the grounds is free, but the house is closed. See Natchez Trace Parkway.
