Rocky Mount State Historic Site Museum

Description

Rocky Mount Museum was the home of William Cobb during the muster of Overmountain Men at Sycamore Shoals. William Cobb, Sr. and four sons joined in the campaign to Kings Mountain. Later, when William Blount, governor of the Southwest Territory lived with the Cobb family for two years (1790-91), it became the first seat of government for the territory.
