Wolf Creek Indian Village
Conoytown Day 2010
This year's event was very interesting. There were presentations, displays, demonstrations, and activities for all to enjoy. The site for the happening is located at a focal point of prehistoric and historic activity.
On the way home, I stopped by another river front location. It seems that circa 1900 an interesting boulder was found at the base of Chickies Rock. In the stone were 2 indentations,
which supposedly were Indian grinding pits.
The rock was moved to a private residence. It remained there until it was recently donated to a local park. I stopped by the Riverside park in Rowena. This is now the new home of the rock. It was placed on it's side along the road, near the boat ramp.
Upon examining the boulder, I started to doubt the story. To me, it appears to be a natural river boulder with 2 pot-holes.(due to the stain and wear patterns) It was probably moved to the land during the construction of the canal. I also had others confirm my thoughts, including professional geologist Jeri Jones.
Wolf Creek Membership and Fundraising Drive 2012
Wolf Creek Indian Village & Museum Membership Drive held at the end of 2011 for the year 2012. Rain Stick Gourd Raffle.Join by Jan, 31, 2012 and your name will be entered for the raffle for the large rain stick gourd. Rain Sticks have been recorded to be used by several different cultures. Our site did not record such a use but in the spirit of the village of using what was available to them 500 years ago, we traded up some snake gourd seeds, they grew in the village and we are using them as a resource. The video audio does not do the rain stick gourds justice for the sound. Hope you will join us!

Eddie Atwell VA Flint Knapper & Stone Tool Maker Makes a Grooved Axe
Eddie Atwell has been recreating natural tools out of bone, stone and wood as well as arrowheads for many years in Southwest Virginia. He was the interpretive flint knapper and tool maker at Wolf Creek Indian Village & Museum in Bastian, VA for over 10 years. In this video he is showing how to make a double headed beveled axe. What he calls a modernfact instead of an artifact. His work has been featured in recreated displays all over.
In this video he is sharing some how to knowledge. He states that the first people used stone, bone and wood tools for thousands of years before metal and though these tools may not last as long as a metal tool you can do most anything with a rock you could do with a metal tool. In the future he hopes to demonstrate how to make several tools. Just in case we might need that knowledge in the future again. What he creates in these videos can be found for sale at the eBay store Dangerfield's On Laurel Creek.

Truly Impressive! Natural Bridge & Indian Village - Natural Bridge, Virginia
A walk through the Natural Bridge & Indian Village in Virginia. The property was originally owned by founding father Thomas Jefferson and believed to be surveyed by George Washington himself. Coming from the “flat lands” of Florida, these types of places always impress me.
A “bit” more from Wikipedia:
Natural Bridge is a geological formation in Rockbridge County, Virginia, comprising a 215-foot-high (66 m) natural arch with a span of 90 feet (27 m). It is situated within a gorge carved from the surrounding mountainous limestone terrain by Cedar Creek, a small tributary of the James River. Consisting of horizontal limestone strata, Natural Bridge is the remains of the roof of a cave or tunnel through which the Cedar Creek once flowed.
Natural Bridge has been designated a Virginia Historic Landmark and a National Historic Landmark. Since 2016, the bridge and its surroundings have been managed by the Commonwealth of Virginia as Natural Bridge State Park.
The Natural Bridge was a sacred site of the Native American Monacan tribe, who believed it to be the site of a major victory over pursuing Powhatans centuries before the arrival of Europeans in Virginia.
In March 1742, a frontiersman named John Howard — along with his son and others — was commissioned by Governor Gooch to explore the southwest of Virginia as far as the Mississippi River. The party followed Cedar Creek through the Natural Bridge, then floated in buffalo-skin boats down the New, Coal, Kanawha, and Ohio rivers to the Mississippi.
It is alleged that George Washington also came to the site in 1750 as a young surveyor. To support claims that Washington surveyed the area, tour guides claim the initials G.W. on the wall of the bridge, 23 feet (7.0 m) up, were carved by the future president. Legend also has it that George Washington threw a rock from the bottom of Cedar Creek over the bridge. In 1927, a large stone was found, also engraved G.W. and bearing a surveyor's cross, which historians accepted as proof that he indeed surveyed the bridge.
Thomas Jefferson purchased 157 acres (64 ha) of land including the Natural Bridge from King George III of England for 20 shillings in 1774. He called it the most Sublime of nature's works. Jefferson built a two-room log cabin, with one room reserved for guests, beginning its use as a retreat. While President, in 1802, he personally surveyed the area. Many famous guests stayed here, including John Marshall, James Monroe, Henry Clay, Sam Houston, and Martin Van Buren.
Natural Bridge was one of the tourist attractions of the new world that Europeans visited during the 18th and 19th centuries. Vacationing guests from all over the world took day trips from Natural Bridge on horseback or horse-drawn carriages to explore the countryside. In 1833, a new owner erected the Forest Inn to accommodate the increasing number of people.
The bridge had considerable notoriety during the 19th century. Herman Melville alluded to the bridge in describing Moby-Dick: But soon the fore part of him slowly rose from the water; for an instant his whole marbleized body formed a high arch, like Virginia's Natural Bridge... William Cullen Bryant, another American literary figure, said that Natural Bridge and Niagara Falls were the two most remarkable features of North America. During the 1880s Natural Bridge was a resort owned by Colonel Henry Parsons, who also owned the nearby Rockbridge Inn.
In 1927 a nocturnal lighting display of the arch and gorge was designed by Samuel Hibben and Phinehas V. Stephens, illuminating engineers with the Westinghouse Company.[9] The display was formally switched on by President Calvin Coolidge in a 1927 inaugural ceremony. The original display has since been replaced with a sound and light show depicting the biblical seven days of the Creation as described in Genesis.
In 2013, nearly 1,500 acres (6.1 km2), including the bridge, were slated to be sold at auction. To prevent piecemeal development of the landmark, the Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund (VCLF) purchased the bridge, hotel, and surrounding land for $9.1 million, made possible by a loan from the Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund. When the VCLF soon found itself unable to make payments on that loan, the Commonwealth of Virginia offered to manage the property as a Virginia State Park.
