Okehocking Preserve — Attraction in Willistown Township

For twenty two years I've driven past this place promising to set foot on it someday, to take pictures and honor the legacy which it represents. In my time living in Pennsylvania I have probably witnessed two Native American Nations Gatherings (Pow Wow)on this ground, evoking images and sentiments of a once proud and autonomous people.
