Wilson County
Located on a the Sellars Farm State Archaeological Area, the area contains the remains of a Native American community that existed in prehistoric time and was abandoned by the time European settlers arrived in Middle Tennessee. While most of the mounds in Tennessee have been destroyed long ago, Sellars Farm is one of the few mounds in Tennessee that is protected under government ownership. Relics found include complex stone carvings now housed at the McClung Museum in Knoxville. The mound is located next to Spring Creek, a tributary of the Cumberland River, which provided food in the form of mussels and fish and a form of defense, as it surrounded the village on three sides. It is located on the southeastern edge of Lebanon and Wilson Counties. The site was deeded to Lt. Nathaniel Lawrence in the mid to late 1700’s and passed through his daughter to the Lindsley descendents. In 1877, Dr. Frederick Putnam explored and excavated the Lindsley Estate finding pottery, corn cobs, arrowheads, earthen pots, pipes carved from sandstone, and numerous other relics. He also found the remains of numerous children and adult Native Americans. The artifacts were returned to the Peabody Museum. In 1909, James Sellars purchased the property and forbid any excavation at the village and mound site. The Sellars Indian Mound was added to the national Register of Historic Places in 1972. The State of Tennessee acquired the land in 1974 with plans to protect the Sellars Farm Site.
