Description
For some reason, my photo of Natural Bridge VA turned into this colorful cartoon-ized version! The brochure says "easy to get to hard to forget"! Natural Bridge is immense, 20 stories high! A path leads you through the stone archway along Cedar Creek to Lacey Falls which helped form the bridge. The Natural Bridge was a sacred site of the Native American Monacan tribe, who believed it to be the site of a major victory over pursuing Powhatans centuries before the arrival of whites in Virginia. Some believe George Washington came to the site in 1750 as a young surveyor on behalf of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. Thomas Jefferson purchased 157 acres (635,000 m�) of land including the Natural Bridge from King George III of England for 20 shillings in 1774. He called it "the most Sublime of nature's works". Jefferson built a two-room log cabin, with one room reserved for guests, beginning its use as a retreat.
