The Meeting House as well as the Plummers residence was said to be part of the Underground Railroad. It's western view over Bush Creek's "Pleasant Valley." was marred by the B&O railroad which encroache on the sites southern boarder. The current acces to the site may be Quakers Crossing which led north to New Market. Monrovia, in in it's hay days of the mid 1800's was a booming agricultural town of Frederick County Comp;imenting the Hotels and restaurants of New Market. Several efforts have been made by private groups and citizens over the years have been made to clear the overgrowth at this site. Unfortunately one of the fist efforts burnt down the Meeting House. If you visited this quiet patch of woodland in April or May you would have walked among several patches of wildflowers and daffadils. This site was 4 acers given to the Quakers by Samuel Plummer.
