Nope. That is One I Wasn't sure of.

I've driven Picnic Road a few times,
Only stopped at a yard sale on Picnic road Once.
Asked the Lady If she knew Why "Picnic Road" She said No idea as they were new to the area.

There is an Evangelical Church below on the main Road, but was built in the 2000's
on Open field, No trees There ever. at least not in 1938.

There are wooded areas on Picnic Road, But it's a Lonely, semi Amish population
The farmers Amish, The Businesses Amish.

Most Logical Top Center Or Far North East where a Saw mill appears to be Now.

Still only Circumstantial speculation that I'm even looking in the right Spot.
as it is East of Gratz and it is called picnic road.

Nope .I think they are Closed. Talked to The Lady Many years Ago, She was Downright Rude,
And there was a Big Stink over her Being Ku Klux At first I Figured Not True, Just because Her Museum had a Klan Outfit


But Then things Got Stranger. Although Her personal Beliefs on the Klan Mean Nothing to Me,
She was Completely Anti Detecting.

She had 3 Sentences for Me.


"Why would You Want To do That" ?
"You Can't Do That ! "

and "They Won't Let you Do That !"

& Not with a Friendly Voice.

Permanent Bish !

Though Last time I Checked She Drove the Society into Financial Trouble & It was supposed to Have been

Closed. Though I Guess I Could Check if She's Out or In the Ground Now

Till I Walked in there, I Never used the Words "Hysterical Society"

Can ya Tell ?
