JACKSON SPRINGS
General Andrew Jackson, leading
his troops to Florida in 1818 to fight the Seminole Indians,
stopped here for nearly two weeks to rest his army during their
long march. Since that time, this has been called Jackson Springs
to honor the famous soldier and Indian fighter who became President
of the United States in 1829. Through the years Jackson Springs
has been the site of many political gatherings, Masonic conventions,
Sunday School picnics and barbecues.
