Come rendezvous with us near the fork of Sycamore Creek and Battle Creek in Springfield, Tennessee where the Battle Creek Massacre took place in June or July of 1780, when a party of Choctaws and Chickasaws killed Joseph Renfro and about twenty persons in total as they left Renfro Station for safety and only one person escaped, Mrs. Jones, a widow, who traveled alone to Eaton’s Station.
In 1838 Cherokees were forced to walk the Trail of Tears which crossed through Robertson County, and more than 15,000 lost their lives on the way to Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The rendezvous site is located 27 miles North of Nashville, Tennessee near many historical, educational and entertainment destinations.
