When our guides, Elder and Sister Slade, learned that Linda would not be able to walk to the sites of interest that are in the forested area north of the Monument, they loaded us into a golf cart and took us out to the location of foundation stones of the homes built by Lucy Mack Smith's father, Solomon Mack. They also showed us the remains of a stone bridge over a stream of water; part of the roadway that was built between Montreal, Canada and Boston, Massachusetts, back in the 1700's. The Solomon Mack properties adjoined this historic old turnpike that would have been an important means of transportation and commerce in those early frontier days.

Elder Slade took this picture of us, standing on the stones of the bridge.
