Replica of Stone #38

History
22
Stone #38 was set nearly 30 miles east of here during the 1859 Cox/Peoples survey of the Kentucky-Tennessee line. That survey resulted in markers being set at 5-mile intervals along the line originally determined by Walker and Smith in 1780. Surveyors from both states worked together during 1990-1992 to recover 45 of the original stone monuments.
