Gilbert Berry also grew up in the land that is now the park. He lived in the Hazel, the land between Hazel Mountain and the Skyline Drive. His family left in the 1920s, before the park was established, but he still likes to go hiking in the area where he grew up.
He noted that many of the old stone and mud chimneys still stand. He brought an old rocking chair. The rockers were worn down from the constant rocking of wood on wood.
He also brought tools including a hook for harvesting buckwheat. “Buckwheat was a good crop for the mountain people,” he said. “You got a grain crop and honey.”
He showed a bark splitter that could be used during the approximately two weeks in the spring when the sap was rising. The bark was made into tannin for tanning leather. He showed a mill pick which was used to pick the grooves in millstones.
Following the program he said that the mountain people were “really hurting” when the chestnut blight killed all the chestnut trees in the area.
