THE ANNUAL MASON-DIXON ANNIVERSARY HIKE

We had a great time walking in the footsteps of history:
About 20 people participated in the hike, held Saturday, Oct. 10, 2009 -- see a group photo.

Watch a slideshow from the hikes held Oct. 9 and 13, 2007, during the Mason-Dixon Line 240th anniversary celebration!


Generally, these pages deal with the Mason-Dixon Line (updated map shows MD Line and associated borders) from around the foot of Chestnut Ridge to The Cornerstone, the marker at the precise southwest corner of Pennsylvania.

Please note: There are few if any references to the Civil War on these pages. The Mason-Dixon Line originally was not meant to be the dividing line as it too often is considered today. In any case, I hope you'll enjoy learning about The Line during your visit to exploretheline.com!
