You will go back in time at this cache. There is so much history surrounding this area. Here is a few things around here that you will encounter.

?The Electro Charlybeate Well is where thousands visited this artesian well in the early 1900s to drink its mineral water believed to cure stomach, liver and kidney ailments. It and the adjacent Water Plant, built in 1885, were paret of 54 acre Lancaster Park which also included a zoo, large goldfish and lily pond, bandstand, children's playground, and Johnny's popcorn stand.

The N.C. & St. L. Depot and Railroad Museum is a must visit and it's all free. The Tennessee Midland Railroad opened its doors at the Jackson Depot in June 1888 and was there until 1906 when it was moved 200 yards east of its location to be used as a general freight office. The
present depot was then built by the N.C. & St.L. Railroad in 1907. Mayor Hugh Anderson welcomed dignitaries to the new structure with a grand opening. After several years of of unsuccessful train
service, the L. & N. railroad bought the Tennessee Midland in 1895 and became the N.C. & St. L.. At this point, the L. & N. turned around and leased the N.C.&St.L. For 99 years.

Across the street from the railroad museum was a grove. In that grove on Oct. 8, 1840, Andrew Jackson spoke before about 10,000 enthusiastic listeners. Accompanied by James K. Polk and Felix Grundy, he was honor guest at a barbecue. Veterans of the War of 1812 and relatives who had named the town for him in 1822, welcomed him upon his second visit.
