The Cheatham County government could take possession of the historic Braxton Lee homestead as part of negotiations with a development team hoping to build hundreds of homes on the surrounding land.

Cheatham County Mayor Kerry McCarver told the Post that he met last week with Barry Mayo, a member of the developer group, who he said asked if the county would be interested in moving the Lee home elsewhere. McCarver cited both the relocation cost and “the devalued historic value” in rejecting the offer.
