2025 is the 250th anniversary of Daniel Boone leading settlers through the Cumberland Gap into what is now America. To celebrate this momentous journey, groups of hikers are participating in a 43 day commemorative relay hike carrying a ceremonial axe from Kingsport TN, to Ft. Boonesborough KY. The axe is arriving at the Courthouse in Jonesville May 2nd and will be picked up by us on May 3rd where it will travel to the the Natural Bridge in The Cedars for a full day of events. It will then continue to travel through sections of Lee County until May 9th where it is picked up by Wilderness Road State Park.
