Mason & Dixon’s Post Mark’d West History Hike
Sunday, March 11 from 1 – 3 p.m.
Guest Speaker: Mike Ott

Meet at the new Possum Hill Parking Lot. The Mason-Dixon Line was really a survey to mark two large land holder’s properties. That east-west boundary line began its history right here in White Clay Creek State Park. Join us on a moderate hike to this historic marker. Bring plenty of water. Space is limited, pre-registration is required by noon on March 8. Free.
