    Local legend has it that in about 1912 there was a major train wreck here which spilled the cargo of rough cut granite thought to be used for tombstones. Over 100 blocks rest on the hillside between the road and the river, with one on display at the Milepost 80 marker. Originally at this curve the railroad tracks were where the road is now. The stones range from suitcase size to grand piano dimensions with a few in the river. They are often difficult to see during full foliage.
