点评:Lapidum is the only location found for Harford County in the Maryland list of ghost towns. The remains of two important structures are still visible in the state park at the southern end of Stafford Road, where it intersects Lapidum Road at the Susquehanna River. The settlement traces from Colonial land grants in the 1600s. The foundation of a former three-story Victorian hotel is visible on a hillside. The hotel was built by Conrad Baker in 1868 according to the historical marker but was demolished nearly 100 years later. The second feature of interest is Loch 9 of the Tidewater Canal. One can only imagine the wharves and busy trade described on the historical plaques. There is parking available at the roadside. While no ghosts were seen on this bright September day, who knows if they were watching from the shadows of the surrounding forest.
翻译:拉皮杜姆是马里兰州鬼城名单中哈福德县唯一的一个地方。在斯塔福德路南端的州立公园里,两座重要建筑的遗迹仍然清晰可见,斯塔福德路与拉皮杜姆路在萨斯奎哈纳河的交汇处。该定居点的遗迹可以追溯到 17 世纪的殖民地土地赠与。山坡上可以看到一座三层维多利亚式酒店的地基。根据历史标记,这家酒店由康拉德·贝克于 1868 年建造,但在近 100 年后被拆除。第二个有趣的景点是潮水运河的 9 号湖。人们只能想象历史牌匾上描述的码头和繁忙的贸易。路边有停车位。虽然在这个阳光明媚的九月天没有看到鬼魂,但谁知道他们是否在周围森林的阴影中注视着我们。
