On March 28, 2005 I published an entry in the Historic Pelham blog detailing the rich story and wonderful legends surrounding Split Rock, a grand Pelham landmark. The posting was entitled "Split Rock: A Pelham Landmark for Centuries". Today's Blog posting shows a couple of recent images of Split Rock.

The first image appears immediately below. The photograph, taken on May 28, 2005, provides a sense of scale. Members of a local Cub Scout Den and one of the Den leaders sit atop the massive boulder. Those sitting on the top of the boulder are facing roughly toward the northeast and the view of the image is roughly toward the southwest. Careful readers will note the small "square" on the boulder visible on the lower right of the boulder where a bronze plaque that detailed the story of the boulder once was affixed.



"Behind" Split Rock (i.e., behind those sitting atop the boulder in the image presented above) is a large stone retainer wall along the Hutchinson River Parkway. The image immediately below was taken the same day from the top of the boulder looking down toward the Hutchinson River Parkway.
