Photo Gallery: The Station
Marker text:
This is the site of one of the forts or stations used by the United States
Government in Cherokee country in 1838 to round up the Cherokee Indians for
their removal to western reservations. General Winfield Scott, commander of
the troops used to assemble and protect the Indians in that period, and his
headquarters here at that time.
It is believed that Federal troops also used this station as early as 1830
to guard the gold mines form intruders - Indians or Whites - until the
question of ownership of the territory was established.
