Tollantusky Trail
Named for
the Cherokee Chief Tollantusky, who was a very distinguished chief
of the
Arkansas
Cherokee. He came with other Cherokee from Tennessee to
Arkansas in
1809.
They settled on the Arkansas River and it is believe that
Tollantusky lived at
Cadron
between 1809 and 1817. He was instrumental in executing
several
treaties with the U.S. Government. He died in 1818 and was
succeeded by his
brother
Chief John Jolly.
Harris
Family Plot
The graves
are reported to be members of the Stephen Harris Family. The
Harrises
owned this
portion of the park from 1867 to 1903. The Harrises settled in
the Cadron
area prior
to 1829.
