We dedicate this project to Floyd Ayers, whose legacy includes our local Trail of Tears signage. Floyd was essential in mapping the Bell Route and provided key guidance and inspiration in our efforts to retrace it.

Trail of Tears signage on Sherwood Rd, Sewanee, TN
Our logo includes the syllabary characters ᎤᎭᎸᏂ (u-ha-lv-ni), the Cherokee word for "Bell." The background is inspired by sunsets in Sewanee as a reminder of the Bell Detachment's journey to the west.
