Sherrill House in Forsyth County

Circa 1907. As part of 225 acres that Forsyth County purchased in 2009 to become Eagle's Beak Park, the house will be renovated and turned into the Native American and Pioneer Heritage Center. Some historians believe that the property was the site of a Cherokee Indian settlement in the 1700s, and that the tavern where Cherokee leader James Vann was killed was also located on what is now part of the park. The Forsyth County Historical Society is overseeing the restoration of this home.
