The Alberton Road Trail in Patapsco State Park (Maryland, US) at one time led to the town of Daniels. The town and the road were destroyed when hurricane Agnes flooded the Patapsco River valley in 1972. Along the trail is much evidence of the community that once thrived in this old mill town. One of the ruins is that of St. Stanislaus Kostka Roman Catholic Church that was built in the 1800s and stood until a fire destroyed it in 1926. The remains of the church and its cemetery now lie in the forest that is slowly taking over the site. Old photos of the church can be seen here:

I recently hiked to the church to photograph the remains, and have posted some of my photos in two parts, in chronological order of capture. The first set, which you are viewing currently, is of the cemetery and some of its grave stones. The second (post to follow) is of the remains of the church.
I hope you enjoy these images, and thank you for viewing them. Please feel free to leave feedback.
