Of Primitive Forests For those who like to look at primitive forests and enjoy stepping over moss covered rocks and logs, the state has set aside Alan Seegar . State Monument.

One hemlock is 15 feet around at the base and is one of the oldest trees in Pennsylvania. The area was named for a World War I poet who is the author of the famous work. "A Rendezvous With Death."
