The RICH HISTORY of our valley and surrounding mountains is amazing - from
indian tribes long before history began (Mayan); the Cherokee tribes have left us with
monuments, mounds, and proof of how they lived before the Trail of Tears. The area
is known for its gold mining, marble mining and the oldest mountains, worldwide, as
well as the largest documented number of flora and fauna. Chances are, one of the notches you see atop a mountain was used by Native Indians as a place of worship or
fielding their stock.
