Johnson's Station

A double log house and a few log cabins, partially picketed, stood here about 1790. On May 9, 1793, 4 children on their way to the spring were attacked by Indians. Three were scalped and killed. One escaped. The home of Charles Bosley, wealthy pioneer and a member of the Nickajack Expedition, later stood on this site.

Marker is at the intersection of Harding Pike (U.S. 70S) and Vine Court, on the right when traveling west on Harding Pike.
