The location is the highest part of East Mountain, and from the summit of the ridge an unobstructed view is had for many miles in all directions except north. In a small ravine on the westerly slope, surrounded by alders and other trees may be seen the granite boulder which the Guilford men had made such preparations to roll down the mountain one fourth of July over a cen- tury ago.
