THEN & NOW: ‘Trysting Rock’

The secluded boulder, which overlooks the town of Lee, was apparently a popular site for romantic rendezvous back in 1892.

“Trysting Rock” overlooks the town of Lee, high atop Ferncliff. The view to the west is dramatic. The scenic, but secluded boulder was apparently a popular site for secretive trysts and romantic rendezvous back in 1892, when the photograph above was taken.

The same scene is recreated 129 years later by actor/singer Katelyn Leveille and computer specialist Matt Carson. But “be still your heart” – they are not a couple, only cousins who volunteered for the reenactment.
