After the Visitors Center and gathering all your history info head North
to the easily visable bridge. Walk over it and pick up your Box Turtle
box at the end-look right and under.
For your second artifact, continue on the trail to the right going over
some foot bridges. turn right and a quick left(do not go over the long
bridge). Keep going past the bench and follow the rail fence up the
field-don't pick the apples on the other side. pick up the gravel road
on your left at the end of the fenceline. Look for grapeshot and
cannonballs along this winding road but don't miss the 1922 Railroad
bridge.
Go under and to the left end of the bridges foundation. Almost eye level
you can recover
your millineum artifact.
