Experience the excitement of an outdoor drama! Set
in the rural mountains of Clay, WV, you will discover how one family has taken tremendous strides to celebrate their Native
American heritage with others through a public reenactment of the Trail of Tears. This performance leads you on the
adventure of one Cherokee family's struggle to find peace and love in a time of selfishness and destruction. With
the moonlit stage, the crisp smell of autumn and the authentic sounds of nature, you may
just find yourself lost in a historic true story filled with action, music, sadness and happiness.
