Owned by the state of ~laryland on the edge of the right-of-way they are completely accessible to the public. Dimensions of the stones vary from section to section. Generally they are about twelve inches wide, eight inches deep and project about thirty inches above grade. The distance of the stone's facing the road; "38 M to B" (38 miles to Baltimore). The other three faces bear no inscription. The stone material also varies. The first thirty-nine stones are of Baltimore gneiss from the Ellicott City area. From ~est Friendship through Frederick to Boonesboro, the material is quartzite, m plentiful along the ~lonocacy RiveT. From Boonesboro to Funkstown, a m very white limestone was used and also a different stone cutter whose lettering is very distinctive. West of Hagerstown, the stones are of a grey limestone. Sixty-nine stones remain on the route. z 0 z ft• SlGNIFfCANCE PERIOD (Checlr One or More•• Appropri•te) f· 3,,.t 2- 0 Pre-Columbion ~ 0 16th Century 0 18th Century 0 20th CentU<y f ·'J , { 5 O 15th Century 0 17th Century GQ 19th Century 1------------------------------;f-3~6~ 1--s"'_E_c_•_F_•c~o_A_T_E_,,_,~~-'-A~pp-=-ll-c•_b_le~•-nd~K-nown~~>~~~l~R~nu1k~-~l~R~.1..._R~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-3 ~t~~ (Checlc One or More •• Approprl•te) AREAS OF SICONIFICANCE c. 3-{(, Abor iginol 0 Education 0 Political 0 Urban Planning 0 Prehistoric 0 Engineering 0 Religion/Phi- 0 Other (Specify) 0 Historic 0 Industry losophy 0 Agriculture 0 Invention 0 Science 0 Architecture 0 Landscape 0 Sculpture 0 Art Architecture 0 Socio I/Human- Literature 0 Commerce 0 itarian 0 Communications 0 Military 0 Theater Conservation 0 0 Music [j! Transportation STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE These milestones mark the original route of the old National Pike from Baltimore to Cumberland, Maryland. z The Baltimore-Fredericktown Turnpike Company was franchised by the state in 1805 to construct, maintain a·i collect tolls on sixty-two miles of 0 toll road from Baltimore to Boonesboro, Maryland. The first tollgate was opened April, 1807 . ..... u Jonathan Ellicott, President of this company, was instrumental in :::> having three other turnpikes formed which extended the road over the ai:: mountains to Cumberland where it met the federally funded National Road, opened in 1818. A group of banks, mostly from Baltimore, provided the ..... capital for the construction. This made possible overland transportation all the way from Baltimore to St. Louis with the result that through the z Cumberland Narrows passed over half of the emigrants and freight of our westward migration in its early days. w It is significant that Maryland was the first of the mid-Atlantic states w to finance and maintain its roads with the turnpike system, and the method quickly spread throughout the eastern seaboard. , ' . ·- -- ~ .......
