Brown's Ferry Tavern, Chattanooga, Tennessee
Summary
Cherokee leader John Brown, who owned 640 acres in this area, ordered the construction of Browns Ferry Tavern in 1803. By the 1830s, Brown's land formed the boundary of the Cherokee Nation. In 1838, the road running past this structure was the route by which several Cherokee detachments were removed to present-day Oklahoma.
