Located about 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Geary on the east side of the North Canadian River, the site is the accepted location of the burial of Jesse Chisholm (c. 1805-1868), a well-known mixed-blood Cherokee trader for whom the Chisholm Trail is named.

The site is also believed to include the burial site of Chief Left Hand, whose camp Chisholm was visiting at the time of his death.

[2] The site of Chisholm's burial is marked by a simple granite marker bearing the words "Jesse Chisholm // Born 1805 // DIED MAR 4 1868 // NO ONE LEFT HIS HOME COLD OR HUNGRY".

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
