On May 7, 2011, we walked up to where the Croyle home used to be. Unfortunately, a logging road had been created right where the old homestead is to have been been. To see pictures of the Croyle homestead in Dutch Corner, click this link: Dutch Corner Croyle Home.
The family of Wallace Croyle (who wrote the book My Search for the Truth which is about the Thomas Croyle family), were kind enough to send us pictures of a stepping stone that they have from the Thomas Croyle homeplace. To see these pictures, click this link: Thomas Croyle Stepping Stone.
