Join an education specialist from NC State Parks for an introduction to Trading Paths in North Carolina during National American Indian Heritage Month. Learn about historical trading paths and Native American culture. Introductory mapping activities include past and current Tribes of North Carolina and routes of Trading Paths. Afterwards, we’ll hike some of the roads and paths around Bynum Mill to read the landscape. Closed-toe shoes required. This program is free and open to the general public and educators. All ages are welcome but parents must accompany children. Our program leader is Brian Bockhahn, Regional Education Specialist with NC State Parks. This program is being offered in partnership with Friends of Lower Haw.
Directions: From US Hwy 15-501, turn onto Durham-Eubanks Road. If coming from Chapel Hill, this will be a left turn before the Haw River. If coming from Pittsboro, this will be a right turn after crossing the Haw River. Follow Durham-Eubanks Road to the stop sign. Go straight at the stop sign and continue uphill on Bynum Church Road past the church and then downhill to the large State Parks parking lot on the right.
