HISTORICAL MARKER
BRINGING NOTED HERE
At 1:15 p. m., on Saturday,
April 19th, and just prior to the
Block House Steeplechase, there
will be a ceremony in connection'
with the unveiling of an Histori
cal Marker, under the auspices of
the North Carolina Department of
Archives and History, commemor
ating the site of the old Block
House, a trading post and fort""’
on the North Carolina-South Caro
lina line, and the point at which
the line survey of 1772 ended. Dr.
C. C. Crittenden, director of the
Department of Archives and His
tory, will preside at the unveiling
of this marker, which will be
located at the Sta+e line, on U. S.
Highway No. 176, just at the
entrance to the Hunting Countrv.
The governors of the two states,
and members of the Historical Com
mission of North and South Caro
lina, have been invited to be
present.
The old Block House, which stood
on what is now the Plamondon
estate, was in pre-Revolutionary
and Revolutionary times, a point
of much interest to the early set
tlers of upper South Carolina, and
Western North Carolina. According
to tradition, it was from this point
that Major Thomas Howard, guid
ed bv the Indian Chief Skyuka,
led his men against the Cherokees
in what is known as the battle of
Round Mountain, and defeated
them in what was one of the last
important Indian battles in this
section.
The public is cordially invited
to attend the ceremony in connec- \
tion with the unveiling of this
historical marker.
