Event comments
In addition to an abundance of native plants and animals, this park features 14 historical sites and points of interest – including the Hyattstown Mill and the one-room Kingsley School House – which preserve the memories of rural life in Montgomery County through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.The Kingsley School House was built in 1893 in response to the need for a school within walking distance of farms located in the Little Bennett Creek Valley. It served the local, rural farming community until it closed in1935. Each year, around 20 children ranging in age from 6-12 years old attended the school. Since the immediate area was known locally as Froggy Hollow – due to the large number of frogs that could be heard peeping in the low-lying area – the school acquired the nickname of Froggy Hollow School. The School House is open to the public on the first Sunday of the month from April through October, 1pm - 4pm. The park is on the Eastern Piedmont which is characterized by relatively low, rolling hills. For the natural surface park trails we suggest sturdy walking shoes and many walkers will want to use walking sticks.
