Trailhead

A 1.5 mile trail through the forest at Booker T. Washington National Monument. This forest is where Booker T. Washington spent time as an enslaved child away from the owner's house on the Burroughs plantation. In these woods, Booker may have gathered food for his mother, who was the cook for the plantation. He may have fished to help the family supplement the diet they were provided by the owners of the plantation.
