Regarding McAdoo House. Excerpt from the site's National Register of Historic Places nomination:
Hugh Montgomery McAdoo was born in nearby Dickson, joined Frank Maney's Battalion from Humphreys County in September, 1861, was captured twice by Union soldiers, and ended the war as a Captain. He was the nephew of John M. McAdoo, a Captain in the Revolutionary War. After the Civil War, he attended Cumberland University at Lebanon, and read law with Morris and McNeilly, then began to practice law at Waverly in 1867. In 1873 he was elected to the 38th General Assembly as a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives. He married in June of 1876, then was elected to the state Senate in 1877, chosen by his colleagues as President of the Senate for the 40th General Assembly (1877-78).
