caption_attribution_description: English: The plantation house at Rose Glen, near the U.S. city of Sevierville, Tennessee. Built in 1850, the house and a few surviving outbuildings are located at the junction of TN-416 and Old Newport Highway, across the street from Walters State Sevier County Campus.
context_page_description: Rose Glen was an antebellum plantation in Sevier County, in the U.S. state of Tennessee. At its height, Rose Glen was one of the largest and most lucrative farms in Sevier County, and one of the most productive in East Tennessee. While the farm is no longer operational, the plantation house and several outbuildings— including a physician's office, loom house, and double-cantilever barn— have survived intact, and have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
  Rose Glen was established in the late 1840s by Dr. Robert Hatton Hodsden, a Sevier County physician and politician who by 1860 had become one of the county's wealthiest individuals. Hodsden was an attending physician for the Cherokee Removal in the late 1830s, and between 1841 and 1845, he represented Blount County in the Tennessee state legislature. Although he was a slave owner, Hodsden was staunchly pro-Union during the American Civil War, and was a member of the Sevier County delegation at the East Tennessee Convention in Greeneville in 1861. Rose Glen is still owned and maintained by Hodsden's descendants.
