Maplewood Farm
Duplex, TN (just East of Spring Hill)

 

This is another Chestnut Group paintout - which PAN can tag-along.  We'd love to have you join us, but I will only be there in the morning, so I suggest that you do the same (if you are NOT a Chestnut Group member). 

Maplewood *:

This 102-acre tract is situated on the south side of Duplex Road, east side of I-65 in the community of Duplex. Within the whole 590 acres, the land includes a mixture of pastures, hay fields, crops and forestland as well as the historic homestead / farmstead area. The 2-story timber frame house built in 1836 and the log cabin built in 1790 are both on the national historic register. Other buildings include a log kitchen, pump house, smoke house, garage and hay barn. Rutherford Creek flows through the property on its way south to the Duck River. The property is made up of several parcels that are relatively flat to gently sloping.

 

Directions: You can Google or MapQuest "Duplex, TN"

I am meeting the owner of this property, Mr. John Lee, at 8:00 a.m. He will show (or tell) me and anyone else arriving at that time where we can paint. If you come later, just try to find us or call my cell - 513-0511.

From Nashville 

• I-65 South
• Exit 59B (I-840)
• Go South on Hwy 431 (Lewisburg Pike) for 5 1/2 miles (it will go under I-65)
• Right at Hwy 247 (Duplex Rd)
• Left in 1/2 Mile (this is the driveway into his farm and house)
•      (If you get to Lee Rd., you've gone too far)

There will be a fork in the road - take the fork with the "cattle gap" (pipes on the road) and drive on up to the house. (I guess we can figure this out.)

 

From Spring Hill

• Go East on Duplex Road
• After you pass Lee Rd, go about 1/2 mile
•      (If you get to Hwy 431, you've gone 1/2 mile too far)

*Note: This property (or a portion of it) has been protected in perpetuity by The Land Trust for Tennessee whose mission is ‘to preserve the unique character of Tennessee’s natural and historic landscapes and sites for future generations’.

Happy Painting!
