Stony Run Learning Walk: The Ma & Pa Railroad

Did you know that:

· there were once two coal depots in the Roland Park area — Cold Spring Lane and Lawndale Road — and that a remnant of the rail signal for one of them is still in place?

· for many years, there was a lumber yard where the Evergreen meadow is now?

· Stony Run used to flow to the immediate east of Wyndhurst Station (then Notre Dame Station), not to its west, as is does now?

· there used to be three “lakes” — ponds, really — between Wyndhurst and Cold Spring?

· transporting building blocks from Pennsylvania for the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in 1958 was the Ma & Pa’s last large contract before closing the Maryland portion of the line?

Come learn about these thing and more. Proceeds support stewardship of Stony Run.

All registrants will receive a paper map at the walk and supplemental materials in PDF format.
