The Fite-Fessenden House is a historic house in Lebanon, Tennessee, U.S.. It is now home to the Wilson County Museum.
History Construction on the house began in 1852. It was built for Dr James Leonidas Fite, a surgeon who went on to serve in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. After the war, his daughter Margaret Harsh founded a private all-girl school in the house known as the Alberta School.
In 1921, the house was purchased by Mr Fessenden, the owner of the Fessenden Coal Company. It was later inherited by his wife, Sallie Barry Fessenden. After her death, it became the Wilson County Museum.
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 5, 1985.
