Foote's Tomb
The first person to realize the value of the stone in Lawrence County was Dr. Winthrope Foote, a native of Connecticut, born in 1787. He came to Lawrence County in 1816 and located at Palestine near White River. He later moved to Bedford when the people abandoned Palestine. He once predicted that limestone from the "Blue Hole" would someday be shipped to New York and all over the world. This prediction was before the railroad came as a means for transporting the stone. Although stone is shipped all over the world, the east is still the strongest market. A good example of early stone work is Dr. Foote's Tomb, a vault carved out of a huge boulder.Cache is a peanut butter container painted camo with several small items to trade and a log book and pencil.Please respect private property nearby.
