The Big Spring - 1C 63 - Greeneville, TN - Tennessee Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Sign text:
The site of Greeneville was a juncture of two Indian trails, and the presence of the Big Spring furnished a stopping off place for the weary Indian traveler. The Scotch-Irish pioneers made the Spring the reason for the founding of Greeneville in 1783. As early as 1780, the Rev. Samuel Doak preached to the settlers at this spot.

Marker is located at 201 N. Main Street which is the Greeneville Public Library. The spring is behind the building, but I forgot to take any pictures. If you visit this waymark, please upload a couple of photos of the actual spring.
