After the Revolutionary War, Capt. Thomas Amis was granted 1,000 acres of land near Big Creek, in reward for his service. Amis opened a frontier inn on the shores of the creek and welcomed travellers making their way to the West.
According to the Amis Mill website, known house guests included Andrew Jackson, Dr. Thomas Walker, Surveyor/Explorer, Bishop Francis Asbury, Founder of the Methodist religion in America, Gov. John Sevier, Daniel Boone, Botanist Andre Michaux who wrote of the Amis home in his diary in 1790 and spoke of its beauty; Capt William Walton who would construct a road from East Tennessee to Nashville. The Amis home became the stopping point for nearly every traveler who passed through this part of the country and wanted a roof over their heads in the 1700s.
