Document-Assignment Two

These photos represent my original idea for the Document Assignment; Rock Point Park in Ellwood City, PA.  This is the site of a former trolley/amusement park, circa 1900.  The information and maps are a little vague, so the remaining foundations of rides and structures were difficult to find and there was very little path to follow.  I did manage to capture six photos, but I hope to return with a guide another time, probably autumn.
