JU3853 Boundary Mon 84 Del Md -- Elkton MD - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This monument is located in the backyard of a private home. The residents are artists, appreciate the stone, and will give permission to see it if asked politely. The day Mama Blaster visited, she had their sweet doggie for companionship, who wanted to be in all the photos.

The stone is inscribed M[aryland] and P[ennsylvania], even though the boundary is now with Delaware.
