Crockett Homestead

One mile south, on south side of East Branch of Mulberry Creek, David Crockett built a log house in which he lived from 1811 to 1813. While here he hunted, and cleared a field three miles northwest on "Hungry Hill." When bears and other game became scarce, he moved to better hunting grounds in Franklin County.

Marker is at the intersection of Lynchburg Highway (Tennessee Route 55) and Cobb Hollow Road, on the right when traveling south on Lynchburg Highway.
