I found an old bottle dump site in a state park. Should I contact the park office?

I've made an appointment to speak with someone at the Lacey Historical Society. I'll share with you all what I learn.

I believe it to be owned by the county, yes. If you park at The canoe access west of Dover Forge, you can walk across the road easily enough. finding 10 MH is another matter. I ended up bushwacking through the brambles to the clearing

That's incredible. I had no idea that there was a donkey rail! It's south of Cedar creek and east of Dover Forge? I bet that was difficult to find.

Thank you for the lead! I will definitely contact the Monmouth historical society. That's good information.

I haven't, but would like to. Thanks!

A bit. He mentions Dover forge, in passing, when talking about the Forked River mountains, but that's all that I've seen.

Hi, everyone. I have been hiking around the Dover Forge area for a while and I've seen the very little bit of history that I can find on the internet. Boyd's maps are a great help and Historic Aerials have showed me the footings of the old buildings and the bridge/ dam that once continued down...
