This is My Pennsylvania - Pennsylvania Long Rifles

 
Park in the Boulton Historic Site parking area, the one that has a restroom.
 If you see the above signboard, you will know you are in the right area.
 Take the trail that is between this signboard and the No Fires or Camping sign.
 When you get to this Y with the little footbridge over the Bushkill Creek, turn left.
 Take a little look backwards and enjoy the view of the creek under the bridge.
 Then....cross the BIG bridge over the Bushkill Creek.
 Enjoy the signboards along the way.
 
 
 Follow the trail till you have to choose right or left, hint...choose left.
 When you get to the end of this trail, you will see this barn which is part of the Henry Homestead. Turn left. 
 Then turn right when you see this all trail traffic sign.
 Walk up the steps and meander on this trail which is close to the road, until you reach the Then and Now signboard.
 Notice this huge rotting stump across the trail. There are several moss covered fallen trees behind it.
 
 BIGGGGG rotting stump!
Look beside the short piece of mossy log.
 After logging in, take a little walk further down the trail to see the rest of the Henry Homestead.
