Congrats! You Discovered William Walton

The Walton Road was one of the principal roads connecting Knoxville and Nashville in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Completed in 1801 and officially designated as the Cumberland Turnpike, it became commonly known as the Walton Road in honor of its primary builder, Captain William Walton of Carthage. Upon its completion, the Walton Road served as the primary migratory route of settlers who traveled from East Tennessee to the settlements along the Cumberland River.
