Historical Marker

Built by Samuel Riggs before 1800. Andrew Jackson, Prince Louis Phillipe and other notables stopped here. It was the scene of the killing of Crockett Cain by friends of Bill Bewley, who had been killed by Cain a few minutes previously, in the bloody Cain-Bewley feud during the War Between the States.
