William Beans Cabin
About 1½ miles to the east on a knoll beside Boone’s Creek, a monument marks the spot near where William Bean, first permanent white settler in Tennessee, built his cabin in 1769. The site was previously used by Daniel Boone as a hunting camp. Russell Bean, first child of permanent settlers was born here.
Marker is at the intersection of North Roan Street (Tennessee Route 36) and Pickens Bridge Road on North Roan Street.
