Day 31 (1 Month) - 55° - sunny, mild and awesome - Spring Meadows Park
Day 30 -36° - sunny, mild - Spring Meadows Park
Today I completed the first month of walking. Molly and I had plenty of company today at the park, and why not! It was a fantastic day to be out walking. It was unusual weather for January.
Earlier in the day, Billy and walked along the field beside the B&B, up to the top of the hill where there is a cemetery called the Keenytown Cemetery. The cemetery is quite old, as the burial records we were given date from @ 1823 to 1883. I don’t know much about the families buried there, but one family “Gleim” had a connection to our property.
The earliest deed that we have for our property dates back to 1887, when the property, which was part of the William Craighead homestead, was sold to Samuel A Gleim. After Samuel A Gleim, there were four deeds recorded for this property. Sometime, I would like to find out more about the people and the South Middleton area.
One place I could get more information on this property would be the Cumberland County Historical Society. http://www.historicalsociety.com/.
The Cumberland County Historical Society is conveniently located in downtown Carlisle. They are a very active organization and constantly promote the history of the area. There are changing exhibits, monthly lectures, walking tours and an extensive library. They even have a research service for a fee. (That would be convenient.)
If you plan to spend time in the area, we would love to have you stay at the Red Cardinal B&B and perhaps visit the building at 21 N. Pitt Street.
