Are you interested in cultural resource management? Come out to Port Royal State Historic Park and help preserve a portion of the National Trails Trail of Tears Northern Route Historic Roadbed!
Port Royal State Historic Park preserves approximately 300 yards of the original Northern Route of the Trail of Tears. The roadbed itself is a truly ancient, with documentation of the road by white settlers as an "Indian trade route" dating back to the 18th century. The roadbed has swells on either side rising as high as 6 feet in some areas. This project seeks out to slowly remove as much underbrush and invasive species from those swells as possible and create a visually stunning view of the roadbed once the project is completed!
