Description:Excerpt from Camp Rotary The property is in the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter of sec. 33, T. 18, R. 19, on that forty known as the "Old Harwell Mill Forty." It is 15 miles, as the crow flies, due north of the City of Montgomery, and is reached over a rugged, picturesque, winding road of 18 miles. The highway has not approached within four miles of the site, but this is all the more desirable as otherwise the privacy of the camp would be effected and it was not intended that the place have any features of a country club. The roadway from the Montgomery to Birmingham Highway via Wetumpka, is good for slow traveling for cars all way into camp. Aboriginal History The site is on the Indian trail from the "Falls of Wetumpka" to Coolome, which trail passes just below the forks of the Creek, 1/4 mile below the swimming pool. The trail led from the town of Odshiapofa, called by the traders "Hickory Ground," a compound word, signifying "Among the hickory trees." The village, located adjacent to the mound, and just inside the Rotary property, was a branch of this larger and later village. William Bartram, the great American Naturalist, passed here in December, 1775, when he visited the Alibamo town of Taskigi at the forks of the Coosa and Tallapoosa. A village of great antiquity, known as Pakana, is shown on the DeCranay map of 1733. These facts will not only prove interesting, but show a romantic connection with the place. Among early references to the locality is one found in the diary of Col. Benjamin Hawkins, at that time principal agent for Indian Affairs south of the Ohio, dated December 21, 1796, he says: "I set out for Coolome, the land varigated flat hilly and mountainous, pass in four miles Pasabulluh, a beautiful flat 3/4 of a mile, X a creek large and fine for a mill, at ten miles arrive at Coolome, leaving the White Ground to the right." The Indian trail between Odshiapofa and Coolome followed the watershed to cross Pasabulluh Creek, thence up a table land 3/4 of a mile wide, to again enter the lower grounds of that stream which flows into the Tallapoosa River from the northeast below the old rifle range. Indian towns generally give their name to the stream on which located, therefore, the aboriginal village adjacent to the mound on the property just outside the camp, was Pasabulluh, the name applying as well to the stream, called by them Pasabulluhatchee. (hatche being "creek.") So far as is known we have only this one reference to the point by name. Maps as early as 1735 show a town located opposite to the Yarbrough plantation, and on the present Gray Henderson property called Pakana.
