TORY'S HOLE

TORY'S HOLE is not a tourist feature anymore because the owner's of the land where it is located disliked people traipsing up to see the place and so forth. At one time a sign indicated the area to go to to locate it but it was removed so that cars and tourists going by will not know any such place exists. The name comes from the early days of the American Revolution when Tories, those loyal to England and King George, apparently plotted against the rebels and revolutionaries,etc. The area was was secluded and made a somewhat good hiding purpose for meetings and storing weapons and so forth and later was discovered and a sort of fight may have broken out. I shall have to search the history for this. At any rate, going there might well chill your bones if you can get permission to go there. Who knows what archeological things might be found there under the soil?
