Marble Springs was the farmstead of John Sevier. Tennessee’s first governor (1796–1801 and 1803–1809). While Sevier used the farm as a retreat where he entertained guests, it was originally a frontier station used by immigrants on the trace from the mouth of the French Broad to the lower settlements of Nine Mile and Pistol Creeks.

Marker is on Governor John Sevier Highway (Tennessee Route 168) east of Neubert Springs Road, on the left when traveling west.
