Tourists view the Gateway to the West, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park.
Cumberland Gap-where you can walk in the footsteps of Daniel Boone
Beyond the mountain wall was danger, hardship,
perhaps death, but Daniel Boone was a man who
had to go there. And so, in 1775, he led a party of
pioneers through Cumberland Gap into the Kentucky
wilderness. The Wilderness Road that he
hacked out was to become one of the major arteries
in the settlement of the West.
Today Cumberland Gap has been set aside for you
as a National Historical Park-a gift to the people
of the United States from Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia. Here, where these three states meet,
you can find traces of the original Wilderness Road,
Civil War fortifications, limestone caves and other
interesting geologic formations.
From the Pinnacle, a rocky cliff that towers above
the Gap, you can see some of the East's most
spectacular mountain scenery, little changed since
the days of the Shawnee war parties.
It has been nearly two centuries since Boone went
through the Gap and opened up the Wilderness, but
Americans are still pushing back frontiers exploring
the unknown. The microscope and the slide
rule have replaced the long rifle, but the pioneering
spirit remains unchanged. It is the story of America's
past-it is the hope of America's future. You
feel it strongly at Cumberland Gap.
