Memorial Grove - Druid Hill Park Series Traditional Cache
Nighthawk700: Sadly, it seems this place has deteriorated to the point where it's no longer safe to have a cache here. If conditions improve, hopefully I can put a new cache close by, maybe remembering our good friend USN_Radio_Chief, who originally placed this cache.

Baltimore's first large municipal park, Druid Hill, is commonly known for its shady lawns, rolling hills, picturesque water features, and majestic forest. This series will take you to some of my favorite places within the park. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Druid Hill Park, purchased in 1860, was developed as part of a nationwide movement to provide large parks for urban dwellers.
Planted in 1919, The Grove of Remembrance (or Memorial Grove Oaks) honors those who fought in World War I. Two markers stand at the entrance of the grove, one showing dedication information and the other displaying a map of the woodland area. One tree was planted for every state, the city of Baltimore and Woodrow Wilson. As the years went by more trees were planted marking each subsequent American War. It is said to be the oldest living memorial in the United States. You can still find some of the state markers at the base of each tree.
