Researching colonial/19th century horse tracks

[HutSiteDigger]

Just wondering if anyone else is ever done this before? I always hear of people trying to find new ways to research and most use things like that Civil War Official Military Atlas book (which i will say that at least 10-20% of the maps in that book are incorrect on certain things) I use to do this when i first started out and always found they are major hotspots. However i would say 60% of the ones I researched were covered over in housing or some wal-mart,target,home depot,etc etc . Anyhow if anyone is researched where horse races use to took place or have hit up horse race tracks before i'd like to know how you did. thanks

Probaly would'nt hurt to talk to some of the old timers at a 4-h event or something along those lines.. Alot of people who have grandkids and such in 4-h organazations and groups like this have been around animals like this for quite a while and may have some information or at least a lead on where you could start looking.. Hope this helps..
