It is amazing how many things we do not know exist in our own Maryland. As we headed for our country autumn drive we ran across this out in the middle of no where. Fabulous history link ~

Please do read the history, so fascinating.
Curiosity killed the cat(s), so we followed the signs onto a gravel road. I do not do well on unpaved roads, but took the gamble .. white knuckled!
We had no idea what we were going to see or any data on this site.
What a beautiful site we came upon. The old log cabin dressed with color ...
A lovely little resting memorial ...
Beautifully kept out buildings ...
Awesome crisp fall skies ...
Autumn trees dressed up in lovely colors ...
The old snake fence surrounding the
property ...
Such a peaceful lovely setting ...
The historical home overlooking the park & grounds ...
The views are spectacular as you stand on the porch, in all directions to behold ...
Plaque next to house ...
The rear of the home overlooking the breathtaking barn ...
Sitting on a slope neath the old tree, sweeping land to the right ...
I could have sat there in reflection all day long but let's go back out front ...
View from the side of the house overlooking the memorial park ...
Do you not feel serenity here?
As I said, curiosity killed the cat ... had to take a peek inside & the picture came out great ...
Plaque on the house ...
Love the way this bank barn sits on this lovely piece of the property ...
Over hill, over dale ...
