Businesswoman, Mary Cawker, purchased the Four Mile House from the Brantner Brothers and opened an inn for the travelers along the Cherokee Trail. In the 1800s it was rare for a single woman to own and operate her own business. As a trading post with hot meals served twitch a day and dances on the second floor, it becomes a hub for local activity. Mrs. Cawker made revolutionary strides in women's rights.
