This sign stands at the northeast corner of Big Spring Park in Cedartown, Georgia. The sign reads:

BIG SPRING PARK
Asa Prior, born in Virginia about 1785, pioneered into this valley and purchased a large tract of land including this spring and Cedar Creek in 1834. In 1852 he deeded the spring and 10 adjacent acres to the City of Cedartown. Another pioneer, Mr. Walthall, established the Walthall Indian Trading Post near the spring. Indian young people danced their corn dance under the cedar trees. Cedar Valley Garden Club beautified the park. A shrine was dedicated to the memory of Sen. William Julius Harris, whose funeral was held in the park, April 21, 1932.
