| What is a Trail Tree? Many years ago, the people native to this area, navigated through the Mountains, using an elaborate system of trail markings. The trunks of oak trees were purposely bent to point in a given direction, indicating, food, water, safety, etc. So, if you purchase land with one of these trees, please, do not cut it down, as it is a part of our local heritage. For more information, read the book: "Indian Trail Trees" by: local author, Elaine Jordan. |
