Overlook Description
Mt. Jefferson was designated in honor of one of the country's founding fathers in 1952. The mountain rises above the town of Jefferson and provides excellent views of the surrounding area. During the Civil War many slaves who had escaped hid on the mountain as they were traveling north. People opposed to slavery helped the runaways with food and direction.
