Located in Lisbon, this open space area provides an oasis of natural habitat just outside of town. This historic park is located in the second oldest settlement in Howard County. The springs on the property were once utilized by Native Americans who traveled the area. Although the water from the spring is undrinkable today, for many years it was considered to be therapeutic. In 1747, the site was home to the Christ Church Chapel of Ease. During the Civil War, the Union Army camped there on their way to Antietam and Gettysburg. Today, all that remains are the ruins of the springhouse. The park consists of a parking area and a nature hiking trail that meanders across streams, through forests and open meadows. There is no lot, so you will need to park on the shoulder of the road. Street parking only available.
