Here stood the Crockett Tavern, established and operated by John and Rebecca Crockett. It was the boyhood home of David Crockett (1786-1836), pioneer and political leader in Tennessee, and a victim of the Alamo Massacre at San Antonio, Texas.

Marker is at the intersection of Morningside Drive and Ridgelawn Avenue, on the left when traveling west on Morningside Drive.
