The Natural Bridge is nearby. Near here, also, was the Natural Bridge Hotel, acquired by the Southern Spiritualists' Association in 1885. Daily meetings, including lectures and private seances, were first held in the hotel, later in an octagonal pavilion, capacity about 500. The most renowned mediums in the country participated. The project was abandoned about 1890.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
