National Park Service | 1201 Eye Street (Org Code 2240) | Washington | DC | 20005 Isn't this wonderful? I think its time to make a trail of Martin Gamble's ride linking to the OVNHT. We need the trail of the Surry Militia under Joseph Winston linked to the OVNHT. We need a trail of the Overmountain men coming back with their captives to Bethabara via the Catawba/Yadkin Rivers. We need a trail of Over mountain men from Georgia and one from Tennessee officially connecting to the OVNHT. We need a trail of the Tory raid on Oct. 14th of the Piedmont families at Shallowford while the rest of their men were coming back from Kings Mountain. And, I need a OVNHT visitor's center in each of the five states. (This suggested by one of our wise and generous tourism officers in NC). This would be Elkin and Abingdon, Virginia of course. King's Mountain National Military Park already is a tremendous visitor's center on top of the mountain in SC itself. You guys in Greensboro and Winston-Salem can probably find other trails to link to Guilford Courthouse since that is part of the National Park service. I think the NPS doesn't require trails connected with History, but we have so much! AHA! The trail of that dasteredly fiend Fanning across Wake county... a trail of Cornwallis to Pittsboro... Trails serve as greenways for recreation and health initiatives. Devise your story, map your trail and call for help... |
