Abstract:

The largest arrowhead in the world is one of the things which distinguishes Old Fort, in McDowell County from other western North Carolina communities. From 1756 to 1776 Old Fort was the westernmost outpost of the white settlers in the frontier. The arrowhead monument was dedicated to the memory of the gallant band of men who braved the dangers to establish this frontier outpost.
