Prior to the incorporation of Madison County, Alabama, on December 13, 1808, a wayside stop located near the intersection of Winchester Road and Maysville Road in Huntsville, Alabama met the needs of early pioneers traveling from Tennessee to Alabama. During the Creek Indian War of 1813-1814, the road became a supply route for General Andrew Jackson's army. Colonel John Coffee, Jackson's deputy, camped troops, including Davy Crockett, and stored supplies adjacent to the inn. The inn was named "Buckhorn Tavern" in 1858 when William Fanning killed a buck near the site and presented the antlers to the Innkeeper. On October 12, 1863, Buckhorn Tavern was the site of a day-long skirmish between the 4th Alabama Cavalry and the 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry. The 1996 Limited Edition Council Strip, authorized by the Tennessee Valley Council Camping Committee, is the first to recognize historical sites in the council. This full-size, eleven color strip, is priced at $10 each. All revenue from the sales of these strips will be used for capital improvements of our council camps. No money will be used for salary or overhead expenses or be transferred to other areas. The total production run is 500 strips.
