Ross's Landing

Ross's Landing Riverfront Park memorializes the location, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

There he established a trading post on the northern border of the Cherokee Nation, across the river from the United States of America.

In 1826 Ross sold his land to a Methodist minister, Nicholas Dalton Scales, in order to move to Georgia to be closer to the political center of the Cherokee Nation.

Groups of the natives were staged at various camps, including east of Ross's Landing, for their coming expulsion west.

Created by Gadugi, a group of five Cherokee artists from Oklahoma, the installation features seven large carved and glazed clay medallions set into the walkway wall.
