On this page, we’ve posted images of Elk Landing, a partnership between the Town of Elkton and a private foundation charged with developing this historic property. It was once described as a priceless resource by the town and we really are lucky to have such a large undeveloped tract near the heart of our most densly developed areas. Thus with the controversy swirling around the property, we’ll post some photos so you too can see the richness of this cultural resource.
Purpose
Originally concentrating on saving some Public Open Space Elkton proposed selling to a developer, we expanded the blog's focus once the Mayor and Commissioners abandoned the attempt. During the nearly year-long process, Someone Noticed found that many important subjects at town meetings weren’t being covered by the media and we also established a regular readership. In consideration of all these elements, we are now focusing more broadly on the “411 on the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Elkton” and subjects of broad civic interest to the Greater Elkton Community, especially when it isn't covered by other media. (see about section for more details.)-

My grandparents were the caretakers of the house for many years (my entire childhood actually). I love the pictures and I think the renovations to the exterior of the house and the land surrounding it show how truly beautiful a place this really is. It’s beauty now matches the warmth that my grandmother spread throughout the inside of the house and the loved that touched all our hearts.
Karen:
Thanks for posting and for sharing a few childhood memories about your grandmother.
