We live along a rail trail in our town and I have what is known as the Gnome village that I created for children of all ages to inspire their imagination. In the next town along the trail, a local artist has also taken the time to add his artistic touches to an old building that was being vandalized regularly. Artist Shaun Hogarth was tired of seeing the beauty of the trail ruined by a careless few,so he has been creating masterpieces like this whenever he gets permission from the property owner. The trail is quickly becoming a favorite place to hike,bike and spend time with family enjoying the beauty along the way.

Looks like an awesome place to just find a bench sit a while and just enjoy the trail for piece of time. It is a beautiful place to just take a photo or be with your thoughts . Thank you Don for sharing. Kat
yes its a lovely place
I want to visit it while up in PA it is in PA right
yep,lancaster county
That is really good to hear and to see. What’s happening at gnome village? Anyone getting married this month? Or babies born?
huge event in a week or so. you will see something on the internet for sure.
Neat that an artist will spend thought, time, supplies and talent to beautify the trail and that homeowners are granted permission by homeowners to do so.
So true
Thanks, Don! This makes Gary and I want to travel all the way from Flagler Beach back to Ephrata to see these beautiful works of art!
