This blog is about how, why and where to find old paths, trails, and roads in Virginia and the Carolinas. The short version is that one finds these old traces so as to identify archaeologically sensitive ground. You may be surprised to learn just how much remains of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. Through this blog we hope to engage your imagination and perhaps even your hands in the largest recovery project ever attempted in North America.

About Me
- The Old Ford Finder
- I founded the Trading Path Association in 1999 to find, map and protect the remnants of the Contact Era in the backcountry of the southeast, on England's first frontier in North America. In 2009, as soon as technology allowed, some friends and I created the Hisoric Mapping Congress to facilitate public reporting and mapping of historic sites. Currently I serve as CEO of the Trading Path Association, and I am a Roads Scholar for the NC Humanities Council.
