Mason and Dixon’s line has become a symbol for the division between North and South and is associated with one the most defining issues to shape our national society from the 18th through the 20th centuries. Few people realize the true history behind the creation of this line and fewer still know that the line is monumented by 12” square monuments at 1-mile intervals.  The results of a 1950 inventory show that 217 of 219 monuments along the Maryland portion of the boundary remained.  The inventory performed by MDLPP shows that a large number have since been damaged or destroyed and an increasing number are threatened.  The MDLPP, as a strictly volunteer organization, has undertaken this without outside financial support. All of the work to date has been through the time and talents of the dedicated volunteers.
