The Prewitt-Amis-Finney House, also known as Turnhill Farm, is a historic three-story house in Culleoka, Tennessee, U.S.. Built for the slaveholding Prewett family in 1810, it was established as a mule farm. It is located a few miles away from Columbia, and it overlooks Fountain Creek.
The house was built in 1810 by Lemuel Prewett, his wife Elizabeth and their 12 children.[2] The Prewett raised mules on their farm; they also owned African slaves.[2] After the Creek War of 1813–1814, the house was inherited by Lemuel Prewett's son Abner, and the Prewetts moved to Mississippi in the 1820s.[2]
The house was purchased by John Amis, his wife and their six children, in 1821.[2] Amis, the owner of 16 slaves, served on the county court.[2] In 1852, he died of cholera alongside his wife and his son John; the three of them were buried on the farm.[2] The house was inherited by their daughter, Elizabeth Amis Cheatham, and her husband, John Cheatham.[2]
