Dixona is a historic house in Smith County, Tennessee, near Dixon Springs.
[3] In 1797, Louis Philippe, then Duke of Orleans and later King of France, stayed in Dixona together with his brothers, the Duke of Montpensier and Count of Beaujolais, during their travels in America.
A major expansion in 1858 added a pair of Italianate brick wings and Greek Revival-style porches with columns, converting it to a two-story "piano box" and increasing its size to more than 4,500 square feet (420 m2).
[3][5][6][7] The original log structure still forms the core of the house.
[7] Dixona was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
