The Dover Stone Church

Here are a few more images from The Dover Stone Church in Dover Plains, NY. My guides from the J.H. Ketcham Hose Company took me to the cave and told me of it’s unique history … and for that matter it’s modern history as well. It seems that this natural outdoor venue is by no means immune to the occasional tourist who underestimates the inherent dangers with trails, rocks, and water.
