Mitchell County: Early Crossroads of Culture

We invite you to join us as Dr. Daniel Barron takes us on a fast-paced visual journey into the past and consider a variety of real people and cultures that have visited Mitchell County from around 8000 BC to 1540 to 1780 and one fictional character by the name of Jamie Fraser. Using historic and contemporary Google maps of trails and roads, we’ll see how you can actually walk in the footsteps of the first indigenous people, the first Europeans, and many of our Scottish and Scots-Irish ancestors.
