About one mile southwest of this location, the Christopher Taylor House was built in 1777 by Christopher Taylor, a veteran of the French and Indian War and a major in the American Revolutionary War. He is buried in the nearby family cemetery. Andrew Jackson lived here in 1788-89 while practicing law in Jonesborough. The house was moved intact to this site in 1974 to preserve it from demolition.
