Historical Significance:
The marker was placed in 1931 by the Fielding Lewis Chapter to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Hightower Indian Trail used by the Cherokee and Creek Indians to travel. It ran from High Shoals on the Apalachee River to Shallow Ford on the Chattahoochee River, near Roswell, and then forked in two directions — one passing through Milton County and the other through Cobb County.
Acknowledgements: The marker was put in storage and moved to its current location in the park and rediscovered by our chapter. The Historic Preservation Committee, Conservation Committee, and Cobb County Parks restored the marker and we rededicated it on October 20, 2014.
