Fort Buffington
Fort Buffington was established in 1837 and was a stockade for Cherokee Indians while they waited transport to the West. This fort is known as the "Trail of Tears" since over 4,000 Cherokees may have died in this stockade and while on the 800 mile journey to the reservations. The spot where this fort once stood is believed to be located on Harmony Drive off Hwy 20 and the "Trail of Tears" organization along with the Cherokee County Historical Society is working on a archeological dig to prove the site.
