Soddy-Daisy was home to Hamilton County 's first courthouse and government seat , Poe 's Tavern . The tavern , built in 1819 , was the home of Soddy-Daisy resident Hasten Poe . In 1838 , the tavern served as a way station for 1,900 Cherokees who were on the Trail of Tears . During the Civil War , Poe 's Tavern served as a hospital for both Union and Confederate troops . Though the original Poe 's Tavern was torn down in 1911 , the city of Soddy Daisy has reconstructed a replica of the building a block away from the original site
