In July we had someone set up a charity for their special occasion naming the Giles County Trail of Tears as the recipient!!
We got the check and the congratulatory letter today!!
We appreciate everyone who may have donated in their name for their special day (even though we don’t know who they are)
They got a deduction for their donation since we are a 501c3 non profit organization and these funds will absolutely go towards our up coming motorcycle ride and commemorative walk furthering our mission to keep the history alive for the Trail of Tears Historic Trail!
Thank You!!!

If you or anyone you know, would like to ask your friends to donate toward this special cause it’s easy to set up a charity for donations. Please remember us in the future if you decide to do this because every little bit helps.

On Thursday past we welcomed & enjoyed touring a group of adult students from Huntsville Alabama! They had taken a series of classes at UAH on Native American Studies and decided to further their knowledge of the series by visiting our Trail of Tears Interpretive center here in Giles County. Pamela Sue Keller assisted us in speaking and giving them insight about the statue she and Gail Bergeron sculpted of the Cherokee family that sits on the property’s east side. It was a wonderfully sunny day to walk the grounds and talk about the historic Trail of Tears of the Benge and Bell Routes that wind through our county, explore the art in the tunnel and take a field trip up from neighboring Huntsville-
Thank You All for making Pulaski’s Giles County Trail of Tears your destination! We Love telling folks the history of the this place, the Mars Chapel & Milky Way farm and doing it in the place where over 65 miles of Trail came together and has been called The Crossroads of The Trail of Tears.
