Indian Paths

Forest County · dedicated 1947 · US 62, next to W Forest school, 2.3 miles S of East Hickory

Across the river here paths led over the hills to Oil Creek. Each year, in spring, the Indians used to travel westward to gather petroleum from the oil pits, boil maple sugar and make bark canoes.
