High Point State Park's 90th Anniversary
A special celebration commemorating the park's anniversary
will take place at 2 pm on Saturday, October 26th.
The Friends of High Point State Park are sponsoring an Open Hearth Cooking Demonstration from 11 am to 3 pm in the High Point State Park at 1480 State Route 23 in the Interpretive Center near Lake Marcia.
The commemoration will be observed towards the end of that event.
Watch a seasonal feast be prepared and enjoy sample tastings of soups, meats, sides, and desserts that have been cooked fireside. Seasonal children’s activities will be offered. The event is FREE, but donations are appreciated.

Frost on the Pumpkins is a'comin...
Indian Summer giving way to a definite freeze this week.
While we anticipate Trick or Treaters coming around on Halloween.. historians and others feel that some unfortunate mischief was visited upon Tri-State Rock, the marker which reflects where the states of NY, PA and NJ unite.
Enroute home from viewing the Tri-State Classic, I took family and a visitor to see the Boundary monument and the Tri-State Rock - only to witness:
I have been told by NJ staff that according to National Geodetic Survey records, the disk was installed in 1942. State personnel inspect this monument and were last there on August 15th. They found the disk was intact then.
The disk (or medallion) is for surveying purposes. It has a center point which allows a surveyor to set up instrumentation over it and survey to or from it.
