Rattle and Snap
Rattle and Snap is a Greek Revival mansion in Maury County, Tennessee. It was built in 1845 by George Washington Polk (1817-1892), one of the sons of Colonel William Polk and a relative of President James K. Polk. His father was a North Carolina native and Revolutionary War officer who was appointed surveyor-general of the Middle District of Tennessee in 1784. The plantation originally stood on 5,648 acres. It is said to have been given its name from the fact that the land on which it was built was won from the Governor of North Carolina in a game of chance called 'Rattle and Snap'.
