The Stone Fort

Legend of Warpath Ridge and the Stone Fort

While we have not found the sources for this story, a local boy scout troop once included our backyard as part of a trail legend - suggesting that in 1813, a group of Tennessee Volunteers held off the Creek Indians among the passageways of the limestone pavement. We have a metal detector. We haven't used it...yet!

Modern Contours

Comparing this map with the one above shows the Stone Fort location in our backyard. There is indeed a labyrinth of passageways! I wonder what we might find there?
