Hungry Mother State Park, nestled in Southwest Virginia, holds a captivating legend behind its name. According to local folklore, pioneer Molly Marley and her child were captured by Native Americans, escaping to forage for sustenance. Tragically, Molly perished, and her child uttered "Hungry Mother" when found. The park's moniker, once debated, pays homage to this tale, intertwined with the region's rich history and natural beauty.
