Saturday Feb 22nd, Tony and I drove down to Dalton and Chatsworth GA to go hiking and we came across this old Indian Cemetery located a few miles from Chief Vann House. it was very interesting to visit and read the signs about the settlement. The sign there gives a lot of background information: SPRINGPLACEMISSION «Southward from this spot stood the famous mission founded in 1801 by Moravian Brethren from Salem, NC The first school among the Cherokees, this mission continued until 1833 and added much to their remarkable advancement. Here were taught many leaders of the Cherokee Nation. One was Elias Boudinot, later editor of the „The Cherokee Phoenix“ The work begun here was not abandoned with the forced removal of the Cherokee but was transferred to New Springplace in Oklahoma» The location has several graves surrounded by a wooden fence called«God’s Acre» which is the Springplace Mission Cemetery from 1812 to 1834 and Principal Chief Charles Renatus Hicks 1767 – 1834. Several of Chief Vann’s family members are buried here and this park is located only about a mile from the Chief Vann House Historic Park. This is a free location. If in the area, you should stop and check it out.
