The rambling stone walls seen nearby are remnants of hog-walls built in the early 1800’s. They provided winter work for slaves of valley plantations and were mended yearly to control the wanderings of half-wild hogs that foraged for acorns and chestnuts. A good example may be seen along the nearby nature trail.
