Ivan Allen, Sr.
About 1927: "At this time Allen purchased the crest of Fort Mountain near Dalton. The property contained ancient fortifications of unknown origin. Allen considered developing a resort but instead donated the site to the state, which, with the help of the Civilian Conservation Corps, developed a state park (Fort Mountain State Park)."

Archaeological surveys of southern-appalachian ruins and mounds were done about 1969. They provided no evidence specific to moon-eyed people, but as a result of the projects, certain sites in the region were marked as sites of interest for further study.
