Granny White Grave
Inscription
Lucinda “Granny” White of N.C. acquired 50 acres of land near Brown’s Creek on Jan. 2, 1803. In 1812, she opened a log tavern about 200 feet north of here near an old spring. Famous for its food and hospitality, Granny White’s inn stood along a stagecoach road that connected to the Natchez Trace. She was buried here on her land in 1816.
Granny White Pike was named after her in 1855. The D.A.R. Gen. James Robertson Chapter restored her grave and added iron fencing in 1932.
