HISTORY
In 1847, Andrew Jackson Caldwell (1818-1866)[7] laid out the foundation for a distinctive new family home. By 1860, Caldwell was living there with his wife Harriet Morton Caldwell, daughters Frances, Mary, and Martha, and son Henry. [8]
During the Civil War, Octagon Hall served as a hospital for both Confederate and Union soldiers. It also doubled as a hideout for Confederate troops on the run from the Union army.[citation needed]
Harriet Caldwell lived in the house after her husband's death in 1866.[9] After 1916, the property was sold to Miles Williams, a Nashville doctor. [10]
In 2001, the property was purchased by the Octagon Hall Foundation.[11] Director Billy D. Byrd has operated the site as a non-profit museum and local attraction,[12] highlighting the paranormal experiences he has reported there.[13][14][15] Currently, it is the site of the Octagon Hall Museum & Kentucky Confederate Studies Archive. It includes a library, a display of Civil War artifacts, Native American artifacts, and genealogical and historical research material. A slave cemetery and historic gardens are on the grounds.[1
