In the center of town in Old Fort, North Carolina an Arrowhead monument was built in 1930. This hand chiseled granite monument served to honor the peace finally achieved between the pioneer settlers and the Native Americans. At the unveiling, over 6,000 people attended including chiefs from both the Catawba and Cherokee tribes. These two tribes had never smoked a pipe of peace together until that day. I live in the same county as this monument, McDowell.
