Year Erected: 1957

Marker Text:Robert Young, son of a Revolutionary soldier, was born in North Carolina in 1760 and was a leading pioneer citizen in the local area. He owned a 1,600-acre farm and a 12-room log home known as Young’s Tavern, along the Federal Road, where travelers frequently stopped for lodging. It is believed that Andrew Jackson, his staff, and two companies of militia, spent a night at the tavern on their way to the Seminole Campaign in 1818. Departing here, General Jackson followed the Federal Road through Monticello and Hawkinsville, while the main body of troops continued to South Georgia through Alabama.
