Southern Settlement TrailThe Cumberland Gap is the most important pieces of land in settlement of the South because is the lowest point in the Cumberland Mountains where the states of Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia all meet. It may not seem so significant today but when people had to walk or take a horse to get from Point A to Point B, this relatively flat trail was the easiest way to get through the mountains. It was, therefore, the path that early settlers took to the Southern States. An estimated 300,000 people walked, rode, or were carried through the Cumberland Gap between 1760 and 1850. The Settlement of the South Trail will take you through Cumberland Mountains, the heart of Appalachia and transport you back to a time when survival depended on hard work, ingenuity and sheer determination. |
