McIntosh Reserve

McIntosh Reserve in Carroll County, Georgia, is a 527-acre recreation area on the Chattahoochee River that preserves the former plantation site of Creek leader and planter William McIntosh Jr. Known as Lochau Talofau, or Acorn Bluff, the plantation included McIntosh’s log house, which also served travelers as an inn; a reconstructed version stands there today, and his grave lies nearby. The site is linked to a major turning point in Creek history: in 1825 McIntosh signed the second Treaty of Indian Springs, ceding Creek lands in Georgia and Alabama to the United States, and was killed at his home after the Creek National Council condemned the treaty and ordered his execution.
