Sign text:
On this site originally stood the house of Robert Kerr, where were held sessions of the Upper House of the State of Franklin. The first sessions of Greene County's court were also held here. The Baptist church, established in 1872, was moved to its present location in 1948.

Marker is located downtown Greeneville on Main Street at the oldest building in the First Baptist Church complex. Street side parking is available.

Due to "The Big Spring" (TN Marker 1C63) across the street (behind the library), Greeneville began on land owned by Robert Kerr.
