Burke’s Garden
Eight miles east is Burke’s Garden, discovered by James Burke in 1749. Major Lewis’s expedition against the Indians, 1756, camped there, and Burke’s fort was there in 1774. In 1781 Indians raided into Burke’s Garden, carrying off the wife and children of Thomas Ingles.
Marker is on Gratton Road (Virginia Route 61) 1.3 miles east of the Tazewell corporate limits, on the right when traveling east.
