In March of 1775, Judge Richard Henderson and members of the Transylvania Land Co. met with principal leaders of the
Cherokee to negotiate the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals. This resulted in the largest private land purchase in American
history and led to a massive migration of European settlers along the Wilderness Road into the western frontier. Join us as
we commemorate the 250 th anniversary of this significant part of the Sycamore Shoals story. Contact the park for a full
event schedule.
