Give several examples of monuments in Maryland / DC / PA that might be familiar to folks who live here but which would not be understood by outsiders without an explanation. Please include your own or public domain photos.
There are many different monuments in the Maryland/DC/PA area. There is Jerusalem Mills, Hayes House, and Steppingstone Museum. Jerusalem Mills was built in 1772 and thrived into the early twentieth century. By 1961 the last miller had died and the State of Maryland bought it. In 1985 the Friends of Jerusalem Mills organized to restore the gristmill and adjacent buildings, and explore and revive the village's colorful history. “Steppingstone museum is a private, not for profit museum which preserves and demonstrates the rural arts and crafts of the 1880-1920 period in Harford County,” (http://www.steppingstonemuseum.org/About.html). It was made for the education of young children and is a hands-on experience.
