- Description:
- Print verso inscribed: "Eagle Tavern, Watkinsville, GA. Photo B page 12 2/13/58 AJ." Stamped "Kenneth Rogers." The Eagle Tavern was built circa 1801 but possibly as early as 1794. In the early part of the 19th century, the city of Watkinsville, Georgia was on the frontier of Creek and Cherokee Indian Territories. The site of the tavern may also have been the site of Fort Edwards, a gathering place for settlers seeking protection from attack by the Creek and Cherokee. The tavern was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 13 May 1970.
