Mayland’s Center of Population Benchmark

On our way to D.C. area for the weekend we stopped by this little park for a respite.  It was an enjoyable place to stretch the legs for a couple minutes and have the children play.  It turns out that it was on this playground that my son rode his first swing.  Gert and I conferred and could not recall him having been in a swing prior to this. :(   We appreciated the opportunity as did Fritz who enjoyed the activity thoroughly.

The disc and the plaque were easily found.  I enjoyed reading how the marker was set in September 2001 to identify the symbolic center of Maryland.

Thanks Merritt for providing this stop for our family.
