His legend is a reminder that America and all its successes and advancements were built by everyday heroes like John Henry.

Beechnuts, Hickory nuts, sweet White Oak and Red Oak Acorns provide a sustainable food source for the squirrels, chipmunks, whitetail deer and wild turkey. Many species of songbirds and woodpeckers that thrive in the special habitat that large older trees provide make their home in this special forest environ.
