Wikipedia says: Estill Springs is a town in Franklin County, Tennessee, United States.

During the Civil War, the town was generally known as “Allisonia”, for another family which had settled in the area. It was the site of a Confederate training camp, Camp Harris, named for Isham G. Harris, the Confederate governor of Tennessee, who was a native of the county. Southern forces retreated through the town during the 1863 Tullahoma Campaign, named for the nearby community which served as Confederate headquarters. The remains of a civil war era bridge foundation are still viewable adjacent to the Beth Page bridge that crosses the Elk River.
