The King George Native American Heritage Trail offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich cultural history of the indigenous tribes who once called King George County home. The trail features seven educational signs and ten geocache puzzles, which provide visitors with a hands-on experience to learn about the area’s first residents, including the Rappahannock and Patawomeck tribes. The signs, crafted by students from the University of Mary Washington in collaboration with these tribes, showcase significant locations throughout the county.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the local history as they visit key stops like Belle Grove, Caledon State Park, and the Dahlgren Heritage Museum. Each stop brings to life the stories of the region’s indigenous people and offers an opportunity to connect with both nature and history. Whether you’re solving geocache puzzles or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery, the King George Native American Heritage Trail is an educational journey for the whole family. Learn more here.
