Brabson's Ferry Plantation is a Pioneer Century farm and former antebellum plantation near the U.S. city of Sevierville, Tennessee.Caneta Hankins, "State Program Recognizes Sevier County Farm for Contributions." Middle Tennessee State University Office of News and Public Affairs, 30 July 2008. Retrieved: 2009-09-29. Located at what was once a strategic crossing of the French Broad River, by 1860 the plantation had become one of the largest in East Tennessee, and one of the few in the region that rivalled the large plantations of the Deep South in size and influence.Susan Andrews and Amy Young, "Plantations On the Periphery of the Old South: Modeling a New Approach." Tennessee Anthropologist, vol. XVII, no. 1 (Spring 1992), pp. 4, 7-9. The farm remains in operation, and several of its historic structures— including two plantation houses and an 18th-century plank house— have been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
