Unfortunately, the 2012 performance is being canceled due to illness.  The show will return in 2013 during the Clay County Apple Festival.

 

Native Americans called it the wilderness - this untamed, unsettled, unknown land that is today Clay County, WV. In 1838, Cherokee natives were being forced west on the Trail of Tears; but Solomon Osborne who was part Cherokee chose freedom by traveling north to unknown territory.

After crossing three states, he settled with his family in the secluded mountains of present day Clay County, WV. Always fearful of being seized, the family remained fugitives and paid a tremendous price for their freedom.

Witness an authentic portrayal of a Cherokee wedding, a scene from the Trail of Tears, fight scenes, dancing, original music, live horses and a cast of all ages.
