On Sept 21 1807, the State Legislature met on this site, and immediately resolved to adjourn forthwith from Kingston, to meet in Knoxville on the 23rd. This brief meeting was in technical fulfillment of terms in a treaty with the Cherokees by which the Indians relinquished the site of Southwest Point, ostensibly for locating the capital at Kingston.

Erected by Tennessee Historical Commission.
