Anything historically cool about your hunting location?

Just reading up on my place and nothing crazy other than the small town got wiped out by typhoid.
I figured south LA would have some interesting history.

Been in my family sense 1763. Sole owners of it now are my two kids.

Our camp in Water Valley was built in 1907 and made of stone. There's a World War I monument built by the then owner in 1918 on the top of a 500 foot 'mountain' half a mile in front of the camp. I miss that place a lot
ETA: There's a family cemetery at the foot of the mountain with headstones dating back to the early 1880s. The monument on top of the mountain is 19 feet tall and very, very cool. I'll try to find a picture

Our property in bracketville, tx use to have a big cave in it that some geologists explored a few times. Never really heard back on their findings though.

That is incredible. How many generations has it been through?

The family land we hunt in Mississippi apparently was a depot of some sort for confederate soldiers. We often find relics while metal detecting with the kids.
Also, if you walk the ag field after its been plowed its not rare to find arrow heads.
Someday I'm going to do some research and find out more about the soldiers and Indians.

family cemetery
Started hunting a micro property in Attala County last year. The only way in and out is by walking along the perimeter of an old family cemetery. It is still maintained but boy it's eerie walking in and out in the dark.

It is said from my dad, grandpa, and uncles that Luckenbach, Texas by Waylon Jennings was inspired by our lease before we ever leased it. Hondo Crouch used to have Waylon and Willie and the boys over to have a good time. Or so I'm told

One area we hunt (Funter Bay on Admiralty Island) was an Aleut internment camp during WWII, when the Japanese occupied two Aleutian Islands. Another area is an old Nazi PoW camp. Lots of old mining sites in the area too. Always finding 100 year old mining stuff.

Very cool thread topic. Nothing special about my hunting properties though.

Lots of stories due to proximity to Vicksburg. Hard to confirm though.

125 years in the family?

One of my stands in the back corner of our lease in Lacy/New Hope, AR is behind a church graveyard with a bunch of Civil War soldier gravestones, and it is all situated in a nice white oak grove at the edge of our pines. Would it be appropriate to drag a buck across those graves if one happens to die there?
That has got to be near Venetian Isles. Were you a member of Tally Ho or was this in what is now the NWR?

got the ruins of an early 1800's sugar mill on some property that I hunt...complete with hand made bricks and hand forged nails...

We are off of 27 near Vicksburg and just got the property this year, but us being between vicksburg and port gibson, it's cool to imagine confederate soldiers marched through the area. I haven't found anything in the few months we've had it to indicate they did though. We do have a small rocky cold water spring fed stream that goes through our property and I'd like to walk it after deer season to see if I could find any arrowheads or anything.

The klan from up the hill in Bastrop was upset about a couple of well-to-do farmers from Mer Rouge who were known to be frolicking with around with the negro servants. So one Saturday they waited until the two fellas (Davenport and I can't remember) left a baseball game and surrounded their car, pulled em out and cut their nuts off then beat them to death. Then they wrapped them in chains and thru them into the Lafourche. The places were they chunked the bodies in is on my property behind the house. If you've read the book Rising Tide the story is in there. There is also a historic lynching tree out in front of the house.
