ROBERTSON COUNTY


County Seat: Springfield
Adams
,
in Robertson County, is the home of the Bell Witch. Not that we believe in this sort of thing, but according to a story there was a prominent family there named Bell haunted by a spook of some sort starting in 1807 and continuing for several years thereafter. Today the Bell farm is gone; but there are people in the area who believe the witch still haunts a nearby cave.


Port Royal

Across a bridge from Robertson County's western border lies Port Royal State Historic Park. Click here to take a virtual tour of it.

Here's the Robertson County Courthouse photo taken by Tennessee History for Kids (obviously we drove by while it was still under renovation).
