<br /> John Lawson/Enoe Will Tercentennial Celebration
<br /> On the weekend of February 1748, 2001 , The Trading Path Preservation Association and the Eno River Association
<br /> will host a Tercentennial Celebration of John Lawson and Enoe Will' s passage through this area three hundred years ago. In
<br /> February 1701 John Lawson , a young Englishman with and adventurous streak, made this trek over what he called a `sad and
<br /> stony way' guided by Enoe Will. Lawson had begun his travels in Charleston, and had hiked from the Piedmont along the Great
<br /> Indian Trading Path to Acconeechi or Occaneechi Town (near modern day Hillsborough) . Leaving the Trading Path ' at that
<br /> point, Lawson then followed another trail to Enoe Will's village , Adshusheer (near present day Durham) .
<br /> On Saturday, February 17 , hikers will reenact Lawson's and Will's trek from "Acconeechi to Adshusheer" (Hillsborough
<br /> to Durham) . The trek will be open to the public but space will be limited. Organizers ask that if you are interested in
<br /> participating, that you enroll for the hike by either sending email to la«rsontreke(% tradinQr. ath . a>m or by calling the Trading Path
<br /> Preservation Association (919 - 732. 6957) . The trek will depart from the reconstructed • Occaneechi village site* on the banks of the
<br /> Eno River behind the county courthouse in Hillsborough soon after 8 . 00 a .m. on February 17th . The hike will end in the vicinity
<br /> of the intersection of Kerley Road and Mt. Sinai Road, just off of Erwin Road, west of its intersection with Cornwallis Road.
<br /> Efforts will be made to coordinate transportation back to the departure point for participating hikers .
<br /> Take note, hikers , please do not expect this reenactment to be a casual stroll . Lawson himself wrote that he was lamed
<br /> by the fourteen mile jaunt from Occaneechi to Adshusheer. Our trek will approximate Lawson' s route by following remnants of
<br /> the Great Central Coast Trail that later became the Hillsborough to Fayetteville Road. There will be long stretches of overland
<br /> hiking without trails at all. ' So, be prepared for an arduous day.
<br /> At .1 ;.00 p .m.. on Sundray, February 18, at the Fews Ford Section of the Eno fiver Ctnte Par { (P. . om, 5 . 7 miles out Cole
<br /> Mill Road from I. 85) there will be a presentation by Archaeology Professor Steve Davis , and local experts , Tom Magnuson, and
<br /> Dave Southern, about the Piedmont tribes, and the locations of the paths and villages visited by Lawson in 1701 . These
<br /> presentations will be at the Eno River State Park Headquarters . Immediately following the presentations, at approximately 2e00
<br /> p. m. , Davis , Magnuson and Southern will accompany hikers on a guided hike on selected paths in the Eno River State Park. This
<br /> hike will last for approximately two hours and be between 3 .5 miles in length. For more information please call Tom Fowler at
<br /> 919. 493 - 6296 . (Adapted from information on Eno River Association website auww. enonver. org)
<br /> Watch for future monthly hikes sponsored by the Trading Path Association at varying locations . Plans are to sponsor a
<br /> different hike the first Sunday of every month. For more information, consult the Treading Path Association website at
<br /> www. tradingpath. org.
