Date: 10 September 2011.

Time: 9AM

Location: NY Allegany State Park Administration Building (in the Red House Area of the Park)

Our mission will be to continue to locate the 15 granite boundary markers that were placed in 1888 at one mile intervals to demarcate the Pennsylvania – New York state boundary. We will also be marking the boundary line with new signs and survey paint and tape. For more information about the project see Walking the Line
