The Palmetto Farm is a historic farmhouse in Palmetto, Tennessee, U.S.. It was built for Thomas Montgomery circa 1847, and it was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] After Montgomery died in the American Civil War, the farm was inherited by his daughter Alice and her husband James Fount Tillman.[2] Their son and his wife Sadie Wilson Tillman, a prominent Methodist, later inherited the house, which remained in the family until the 1980s.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[3]
