Charlie's Dump

 

The area now called, Charlie’s Dump, originally belonged to a man named Charlie Montague, a life-long resident of Georgetown Township.  Charlie lived at the corner of then 20th Avenue and Rosewood Street.  According to a Deed signed in 1924, the property became a Georgetown Township gravel pit which resulted in the deep hole in the ground.  Once the gravel was exhausted, the property was reverted back to Charlie Montague.

 

 

As the years passed the “pit” became a playground for neighborhood kids and even had a small pond.  After Charlie died at the age of 98, the land became overgrown with brush and some people started dumping trash.  In 1977 Georgetown Township acquired the property for use as a storm water retention pond.  Over the next few years, Charlie’s dump was landscaped as you see it today and has since been developed into a Township park along with a soccer field in the bowl.

Be careful and cross the road. After that you will need to keep going strait into the woods until you reach pavement once more. At the pavement, follow the boarder until you reach the NE corner of the pavement. There you will start your search. don't go into anyone's yard, it's not there!
