THE ANNUAL MASON-DIXON ANNIVERSARY HIKE
This year -- it's a celebration!
Join us at
10:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012
for a program and hike to commemorate the 245th anniversary
of the ending of the Mason and Dixon survey in 1767
Join us as Doug Wood begins the day with his popular presentation on Chief Ostenaco; we'll take the hike starting at 11:45 a.m. featuring comments by Pete Zapadka and historian Ed Robey. Afterwards, Dianne Anestis will discuss at 2:15 p.m. the role of native women in 18th century society!
See last year's hike! Videographer Gregory Ayersman captured the event. It's visible on YouTube.
Go back: Oct. 17, 2010 -- One of the best hikes we've had so far!!
About 50 participants took part on a wonderful, sunny day, commemorating the 243rd anniversary of the survey's ending. For the first time, we had Native American representatives take part -- and we were interviewed on WBOY-TV.
See some of the photos taken by participants on the hike.
About 20 people
participated in the Saturday, Oct. 10, 2009, hike
-- see a group photo.
Watch a slideshow from the hikes
held Oct. 9 and 13, 2007, during the Mason-Dixon Line 240th anniversary
celebration!
Generally, these pages
deal
with the Mason-Dixon
Line (updated map shows MD Line and associated borders) from around the foot of
Chestnut Ridge to The Cornerstone, the
marker at the precise southwest corner of Pennsylvania.
Please
note: There are few if any references to the Civil War on these pages.
The Mason-Dixon Line originally was not meant to be the dividing line
as it too often is considered today. In
any case, I hope you'll enjoy
learning about The Line during your visit to exploretheline.com!
