The stone is located about 100 feet south east of the intersection of Eastern Ave. and Southern Ave. There's parking just infant of a small trail that leads to the stone. It is fully enclosed, to protect it from vandals and a small marker on the fence indicates it's erected year. The stone is technically in Washington DC between the lines indicated on the south east side and south west side, while on the other sides it is in Maryland.
