The Dungannon Roots booklet is now available through the Dungannon Development Commission. The Dungannon Historical Committee assembled articles about Dungannon's pre-history, the pioneer settlers and Patrick Hagan, founder of Dungannon. Howard A. MacCord, a former Virginia State Archeologist and Dr. Cliff Boyd of Radford University describe the prehistory of the Clinch Valley with emphasis on the Flanary Historical Site where there are traces of the past 10,000 years. Exploring the time of the pioneer settlers is an article by Julia Ince "Duncan's Fort and the Earliest European-American Settlers" and Dale Honeycutt's "Stephen Osborne, Pioneer Settler of Clinch Valley, Virginia". Betty Salyer wrote "Cox-Flanary Farm: Past and Present". The final article gives newly researched information about Patrick Hagan who in the late 1800's named Dungannon after his home community in Ireland. The cover is a photograph of a tree along the Clinch River that has three large exposed roots.

A beaver dam located on Rt. 653. / Hunters Valley East Road. Beavers and their dams play an important role in nature. Because of the dramatic effects their dams have on surrounding ecosystems, these mammals are considered a keystone species. By constructing dams they create Wetlands -- lush environments which attract fish, ducks, frogs and other creatures. However, beavers can become a big headache for farmers and landowners.

Sulpher Spring

This is the sulpher spring near where Patrick Hagan built his mansion named Hagan Hall in 1860. Patrick Hagan was born February 2, 1828 in Dungannon Ireland. He named the nearby town Dungannon, after his home in Ireland, which means "Fort on the River Gannon". There was a large spring house here, but all that is left is the spring box and the hand cut stone foundation. Patrick walked to this spring every morning to get a drink from the spring. Hydrogen sulfide gas bubbles from this spring, giving it a smell of rotting eggs. The spring is about 100 yards from the highway along a old forest service road.
The Sulpher Spring is a 7th maginitude of flow spring.
