Why this spot
1797-1810 Natchez Trace craft village
A platted town south of Coles Creek founded by William Ferguson, with a cotton gin maker from about 1797, a tannery and shoe factory, wagon and cabinet makers and a church from 1804. After Ferguson died in 1801 and the county seat went elsewhere, it was a few decaying houses by 1810.View source →
