This program will highlight the historical and natural value of the Buffalo Trace and will be provided by Steven Stewart of Protect Our Woods and the Buffalo Trace Preservation Group.
The historic Buffalo Trace runs through the heart of Orange Co. just south of the settlement of Paoli. The Trace started in Clarksville, Ind. at the Falls of the Ohio and ran to the Indiana Territory capital Vincennes on the Wabash River. Thousands of travelers took the trail headed west during the early 19th century. Items of national significance connected to the Trace are numerous.
Efforts to create a permanent status for protection of the Buffalo Trace and the Lick Creek Settlement are also being pursued by the Buffalo Trace Preservation Group, the Roberts, Thomas, and Bonds Historical Society and many others across the state.
