Talking Rock History
One of the most significant characteristics of the site is the presence of remnants of the Old Federal Road. This road gets its name from the fact that its construction in the early 19th century was one of the first public works projects undertaken by the Federal Government of the United States. The road was constructed as a trade route connecting the ports of South Carolina and Georgia with the rich interior lands of Kentucky and Tennessee. Construction of the road, for the portions that crossed what was then Cherokee Territory, was contracted to the Cherokee - who built and maintained much of the road. Ironically, this same road was later used in the 1830's as the route the forced removal of the Cherokee people from North Georgia to Chattanooga, Tennessee in what would be the beginnings of the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma.
