Rich in history, The Timothy Demonbreun House is a tribute to the "First Citizen" of Nashville, Tennessee, Timothy Demonbreun, who was a French fur trader. In 1756 he canoed down the Cumberland River from Quebec, Canada, and established a trading post, calling it "French Lick". He became known at that time as Nashville's first white settler. The historic house was named in 2000 to honor Timothy by his great-great-great-great grandson, Richard A. Demonbreun. Today Richard is the owner of the house and shares his lovely home with guests.
