Wilderness Trail

The history of the Wilderness Trail is fascinating with it’s detailed stories, the adventurous settlers biographies and the actual setting of the landscape. All of this combined allows us to have a better understanding of why this trail was so popular during the late 18th century. Portions of the trail were discovered by Abraham Wood during the 17th century. The trail links to the Great Wagon Road in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Wood traveled the traveled the area as early as 1650. He documented this experience with vivid details. This trail ended at the capital of the Cherokee Nation, Chota.

The road became very active due to Daniel Boone’s expedition through Cumberland Gap and into Kentucky during the later years of the 18th century. At times, this trail was no more than a narrow path through the wilderness. Many early settlers would carry all of their items because the trail was not wide enough for the passage of wagons. US Highway 25 and State Highway 150 closely follows the original route of this trail.
