Levi Colbert was once chief of the Chickasaw Nation. He once ran a stand (inn) on the Natchez Trace near this site that was built around the turn of the 19th century. It no longer exists, but this approximately 5.6-acre plot of land is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and contains an interpretive trail to Buzzard Roost Spring. The area has possible significance as an archeological site.
