At the turn of the 19^th century, a vision for community was built where lives were connected to what was deemed most valuable. A prestigious young man named Colonel “Buck” Martin first settled on the property of Rural Plains, what is now called Berry Farms. Claiming his new home, Colonel Buck convinced his sister Sally Martin Hughes and her husband, John, to visit. Captivated and in awe, Sally and John quickly fell in love with the land and marked middle Tennessee their home. Their vision of pure community soon became a reality. They built a brick home on the property around 1830 which still stands today as one of Williamson County’s great historic homes. With careful preservation, the history of this Franklin home and property will surely be maintained for generations to come.
