Farm Country North of Parsons

Farm country in hills north of Parsons, near an area known as Lead Mine, WV.

This area is famous as it was where several photos of the Vagabonds -- Thomas Edison, John Burroughs, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone -- were taken in 1918 of them camping in hills. About two decades later this area was home to a large CCC Camp that worked on reforestation projects in the area.
