This is the burial mound of Sautee and Nacoochee. According to the legend of Sautee and Nacoochee. Here is a brief summary of the tale- The Chickasaw and Cherokees we're constantly at war with each other. During a moment of truce, the Chickasaw tribe was allowed to rest on Cherokee land. This is when Sautee, the son of the Chickasaw Chief’s meets and falls in love with Nacoochee, the daughter of the Cherokee Chief. Nacoochee's father, Chief Wahoo, instead of seeing this as a peace opportunity between the two tribes is blinded by hate and orders Sautee to be thrown off of the cliffs of Yonah Mountain. Nacoochee escapes her restraints and jumps after him. At the foot of the cliff, their fierce love allows them to embrace one last time and they perish locked together.

You can't walk up to it or around it, since it's in the middle of a huge cow pasture, but there is a pull off with an informational sign and take pictures. During the Hardman Farm tour across the street, they told us it was the 2nd most photographed site in Georgia, after stone mountain. I'm not sure that's true but I did take several pictures!

It’s history! What more can be said? It’s an Indian burial ground. It should be respected with honor. Is it history that we should never forget our ancestors and the role they played in established us as a free nation. We should remember that was history and it is historical.

There it is. That's pretty much it, with Yonah Mountain in the background. It's fenced off so you can't walk up close to it. There's a shoulder right off the road for a few cars to pull over. But it's part of our history and I'm glad it has been preserved.

This is amazing. It’s in the middle of a cow pasture. Check out Brady Brandwood’s YouTube channel to learn more about it. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this incredible story that explains this gazebo mound that I’ve passed so many times.
