Further west, past the Veteran's Memorial Plaza are two "relics" from the Town's past.  

First, a large red caboose that served on the Chestnut Ridge Railway and second a mill stone.

​

The caboose was donated to the Town in 2006 and immediately put on display.

​

Shortly after, the millstone was donated by Jacqueline Mock. 

​

The caboose was sandblasted and repainted this year (2019) and the mill stone will soon have a plaque identifying it as having come from the grist mill on Princess Run, along Fiddletown Road.


Make a left out of the parking lot and continue along Kunkletown Road, at some point along this route, on your right, you will notice a “Bike Trail” sign (just lock this away in your memory for now) continue to the intersection of Silver Spring Blvd (18.8m).  Make a right onto Silver Spring Blvd, you will notice another Bike Trail sign.  In just a minute, you will see a clump of trees on your left.  If there is no traffic, you may be able to pause and stare into those woods and you will see the derelict frame of a once vibrant one-room school.  There is no parking available here.
