During the American Civil War, General William Sherman ordered Union troops to burn the city. Most of Brandon was destroyed in the fires but a few homes of the era survived. Some of these homes are located in the Pearl Historic District, next to the Old Brandon Cemetery.[citation needed] Two of the three homes within the historic district were built between 1850 and 1860, while the third was built circa 1920.[2]
