Redwood trees visit recalls old Clay Pike route
This afternoon we were taken to Silesville by Jeff Williams along the old Clay Pike, passing by historic homes and two large nonnative trees on Charles Wareheim’s farm. Known as Hemlock, they resemble California redwoods and may be unique to this region. We visited Edward Hall and Mrs Hall, enjoyed a warm reception, and shared a pleasant historical conversation before leaving to attend the Cowden farewell at the old church in New Gottengen.
