Flintstones in Mulmur
On a dirt road in Mulmur township, just north of Hornings Mills and near where River Road meets Sideroad 20, there is an old stone gate with the word Flintstone built into it. We were there on a rainy November afternoon.
Although the gate is locked and there are ‘No Trespassing’ signs on it, there is no fence to keep photographers like us out.
.
Once inside the gate, there are three buildings made of field stones set beside a large pond.
Two of the three buildings are visible from just inside the gate. The third building, a shed, is behind.
.
The first building looks like it was possibly a stable, with room for a couple of horses. Or should that be room for Dino and his dinosaur pals?!

interior of the first building… old needles, old windows, abandoned shelves and drawers.

The second building was a small house.
The front door was locked and the windows were boarded up.
.
The only access to the house was through an open back door.
It looks inviting…. enter if you dare!
.
The interior was very dark. From what we could see from the open door, the inside also looked very dirty. There was a lot of debris on the floor and probably mold on the walls. It wouldn’t be surprising to find evidence that small creatures had spent some time here too.
This shot was taken using a flash and holding the camera at arms length while pointing it around a corner. We didn’t venture inside this time as we didn’t have masks with us and it didn’t seem worth the consequences of breathing the dust and mold.
