Wheatlands is an antebellum plantation in Sevier County, Tennessee, established in 1791 by Revolutionary War veteran Timothy Chandler as a farm named for its wheat production. His son John Chandler inherited the property in 1819 and expanded it to roughly 3,700 acres by 1850, one of the county's largest agricultural operations. After the Civil War, Chandler gave land to his former slaves, who founded the nearby Chandler Gap community. The surviving house was rebuilt in 1825 after a fire destroyed the original in 1824, and Queen Anne style additions were made in 1889; it has been called the best surviving example of Federal style architecture in Sevier County. Wheatlands was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and was purchased in 2011 by local businessmen with plans to restore it.
