Mud Tavern Historical Marker

You can go to the Buchanan Station Log House Historical Site and see the original Mud Tavern Sign that hung over the establishment. It was donated on loan and is hung at the Buchanan Station Log House by a member of the original community’s family. For info refer to the Buchanan Station Log House web page /​facebook page.

Just off I-​40 on Elm Hill Pike is this marker at the side of the road. It reads…
The Mud Tavern Community developed around the crossroads of the Elm Hill and McGavock Turnpikes. The name derives from the mud and log inn at the crossroads where early 19^th century travelers found rest and refreshment. Mud Tavern later became a lively rural community, with a railway stop, schools, post office, and general store, which thrived until overtaken by 20^th century commercial development.
Kind of a bummer to see ages past and the way things used to be.
