YEALA, Lofa County — Hidden among the landscapes of northern Liberia, ancient walls, nine tunnels, historic creeks and stories of seven warriors have endured for generations. Now, a new effort is taking shape to preserve that history and bring Yeala’s heritage to a wider audience.
Plans for Yeala include preserving the ancient double wall and gate, conducting archaeological and geological surveys of the nine tunnels, and protecting the Ancient Warriors Creek and Yeala Creek.
The proposed development also includes a museum, monuments honoring the seven ancient warriors, a visitor and tourism information centre, an open-air venue for traditional festivals, a guest house, and a traditional arts and crafts market and training centre in Fissebu.
