Darce Easton, born April 30, 1930, moved with her family at the age of 6 to live at the Washington Monument State Park in Boonsboro.  Her father, Robert Palmer, had been named the first superintendent of the park and job meant moving to live in the ranger’s house on park property.

There she lived with her parents and brother until she married and moved to Rohrersville, MD.  She has some wonderful stories of her time there, helping her dad, being in a presidential motorcade and general antics as she grew up in the shadow of the country’s first monument in honor of President George Washington.
