Join Ranger Taylor Moorefield for a demonstration of firecraft by rubbing two sticks together. In celebration of
Indigenous Peoples' Day, see this ancient fire-starting method come to life just as the Cherokee and neighboring
tribes would have achieved it centuries ago in this area. Attendees are welcome to participate and try the friction
fire themselves. Meet inside Fort Watauga.
