The Farragut Museum is currently closed
It will reopen when Farragut Town Hall renovations are completed in late 2024.
Admiral Farragut Memorial Plaza
Dedicated in 2010, the Farragut Memorial Plaza features a bronze statue of Admiral David Farragut, Civil War era cannons on loan from the U.S. Naval Yard, and historical markers with information about Farragut's life.
Civil War Trails Marker
In 2010, a Civil War Trails Historical Marker was dedicated on the grounds of the Farragut Town Hall to commemorate the Battle of Campbell Station fought on surrounding land on Nov. 16, 1863. Also dedicated in 2010, the Farragut Memorial Plaza features a life-plus sized bronze statue, Civil War era cannons on loan from the U.S. Naval Yard, and historical markers with information about Admiral Farragut's life.
Farragut History Walk
Learn more about the Farragut’s unique history on a stroll through the heart of town! The Farragut History Walk includes four educational sites: the Heritage Trail with interpretive signage at Founders Park at Campbell Station, the Campbell Station Inn and Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza, the Farragut Museum/Admiral Farragut Plaza and Pleasant Forest Cemetery. (Keep in mind that the Farragut Museum is currently open 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday through Friday.)
Pick up a printed Farragut History Walk map from the brochure holder on the Heritage Trail sign located at the turnaround at Founders Park at Campbell Station or at the Farragut Community Center (239 Jamestowne Blvd.) or download a mobile-friendly PDF here.
Parking for the walk is available at Founders Park (405 N. Campbell Station Rd.), the community center or Farragut Town Hall (11408 Municipal Center Drive).
Campbell Station Inn and Ralph McGill Memorial Plaza
The Town purchased the Campbell Station Inn and the surrounding 2.26 acres in 2012 because of the site's rich history and prominent location. Phase 3 of the renovation of the property, the creation of Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza, was completed in late 2020. It is available for public rental.
The next phase of improvements will be deciding on a future use for the inn and restoring the interior to suit the new use. Feedback for the future use of the inn was solicited from the public via two open houses and social media in winter of 2019.
Community Heritage Trail
A Capital Investment Program project, the Community Heritage Trail features 11 signs throughout Founders Park at Campbell Station which highlight the historical milestones of the Farragut and Concord areas from the earliest American Indian inhabitants to the founding of the Town of Farragut. The project began as an initiative by Mayor Ralph McGill and was realized by a volunteer group comprised of Farragut Museum committee members as well as community members who worked for more than 18 months researching and compiling information and photos for the signs.
