June 10, 1785 - Treaty of Dumplin Creek

Treaty of Dumplin Creek is signed. With the last treaty of the State of Franklin, the Great Cherokee Nation ceded the territory now known as East Tennessee, allowing the hardworking settlers to make a living the only way they knew how––off the land.Through exhausting days, often punishing conditions, and with faith and strong spirit, these ancestors taught that things that must be done, are worth doing well. It is a lesson that Old Tennessee Distilling Company instills in each moonshine, vodka and gin that bears the Dumplin Creek name.
