In the early 1730's, German immigrants settled in the area of this park.
On early maps the area was called Herclerode, after the first landowner, The Herclerode house still stands.

a Mr. Meier married Mr. Herclerode's daughter, Catherine, and bought the home and plantation.

The home is located near the Tulpehocken Creek and the town was later known as Tulpehocken Town.

Tulpehocken
is a Lenape Indian word which means "land of the turtles". Mr. Meier laid out the streets for his town in 1768.

I met up with nsdq there today, to give him a Rotary Phone & do a little Hunting.

Just the landscape alone is worth the hunt:)
 

Nice on the merc Jeff , but looking at those pics- and with all that history , there's just got to be some oldies hiding in there .

but probably deep.
one of the Memorials was an easy 6"
and most dated to the 70's.

the oldest one was a '61
the merc may have been 5"
right now the ground is dry
