The History of Rock creek park: Isaac Peirce (1756-1841) was born to Quaker parents in Pennsylvania. He married a woman named Elizabeth Cloud in 1778. In 1788, Isaac and Elizabeth left Pennsylvania to make a new life for themselves and their young family in Maryland. Isaac originally purchased 150 acres of land along Rock Creek. This included 10 acres which already included a mill and a few other structures. This would become the heart of his large property holdings.

Isaac's estate eventually grew to include almost 2,000 acres of land, a large family house, distillery, mill and miller's house, springhouse, cow barn, potato barn and carriage barn and several other out buildings of unknown use.

RULES AND DISCLAIMER: If you attend this event, you must must agree to follow all of our rules on the main page and agree to the release of liability. Outdoor activities are inherently risky: hike at your own risk.

We will grab a meal afterwards at a restaurant near by

Metro & Parking: Cleveland Park is the nearest station. There is free parking throughout the area but the spaces fill up and some searching may be required.

Restrooms: Across the street (Tilden) from Peirce Mill is a public restroom.

I recommend carpooling for this one and arrive early for parking.
