The Elisha White House, also known as Maple Tree Farm, is a historic mansion in Waco, Tennessee, U.S..

History

The land was granted to Thomas Armstrong, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War.[2] In 1810, it was purchased by Elisha White, a settler from Virginia.[2] White built the house in 1821, where he lived with his wife Jane.[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, it served as a hospital for the Confederate States Army.[2]

The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 4, 1983.[3]
