Sam Davis Museum



134 Sam Davis Avenue

Located in a National Historic District, the museum stands on the spot where the "Boy Hero of the Confederacy" was executed on November 27, 1863. Captured behind enemy lines with damaging information in his possession, Davis faced death by hanging rather than betray his source. The museum contains Civil War memorabilia as well as leg irons worn by young Sam Davis. Viewing may be arranged through the Giles County Tourism Foundation at 931-424-4044
Free.
