The Hemlock Gorge loop trail take us past an an old cemetary where the Hoffman family are buried. The Hoffmans were the first paper makers in the state of Maryland. Mr Hoffman died in 1811. I was told the small maker stones in front are actually makers for the servants.
The trail takes us along the river and the pretty hemlock trees.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful valley! Looks very similar to "my" valley. The only difference is that we don´t have Hemlock trees, but Beeches.
