Gibson Park
Spanning 200-acre, Gibson Park pays tribute to the rifle makers who lived and worked in the Jamestown area during the mid 19th century. Rifle making was a chief industry and it is believed as many as 75 individuals manufactured the handcrafted muzzle-loaded rifles that came to be commonly known as the Jamestown long rifle. The park’s historic Deep River Cabin (circa 1800) and its hand-dug well provide visitors a glimpse of the modest dwellings that dotted much of the Deep River valley prior to the Civil War.
