Mt. Laurel School kids on a hike to the rock formations on Overlook Mountain.
“A local private
family foundation has purchased a 37-acre property on Overlook Mountain in
Woodstock in order to preserve the land and its stacked rock formations,
alleged to be of ancient origin. A Lewis Hollow neighbor has bought a nearby
45-acre parcel and placed a “forever wild” deed restriction on the land,
protecting it from development. Glenn Kreisberg, who spearheaded formation of
the Overlook Mountain Center (OMC) as a vehicle for protecting both properties,
is also seeking to save a 30-acre area in lower Lewis Hollow.
Kreisberg has
studied and written about Overlook’s mysterious rock mounds and serpentine
walls that he believes are Native American and ceremonial in origin. He hopes
that purchase of the remaining 30-acre parcel will enable OMC to create an
educational center at the former hunting lodge located on the property, as well
as an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) limited-mobility wildernesses
access area…”
