"...the most authentically re-constructed frontier fort in America."
Recently myself and associate Ms. Gale, along with two friends, visited a truly cool and historic place my friends. I've been to a lot of historic places but Martin's Station in Virginia's Wilderness Road State Park was an absolute standout. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our time there and our thanks go out to the State Park's employees, reenactors and reenactor/ Rangers.
Here is the go to link for so much more about this most remarkable place:

This painting greets you in the Visitor's Center, and although I'm not positive, I think it is Martin's Stations Overmountainmen gathering for their long ride down the western face of NC to gain victory battling Ferguson's Tories at King's Mt in SC during the Revolutionary War.

With the exception on the first grave digital all pics above are of a Cherokee Indian hunting encampment.
The very nice and dedicated reenactor/Ranger portraying Nancy Ward. This lady could place a tomahawk dead square in a tree from quite a distance!

One of our friends is in her element! Her heart and soul is in this region of the west Appalachians.
Ms. Gale says good-bye with affection to all the nice folks and marvelous Martin's Station
