Devils Tramping Ground outing! What a treasure!

This old postcard showing a group posing at the Devils Tramping Ground in Chatham was contributed by Wally and Sandy Jarrell. The participants are wearing what appear to be Sunday-best outfits and holding springs of what must be the grass that grows around the naked circle of the Devils Tramping Ground. A buggy can be seen on the far right of the photo.

If you can help date the photo from the clothing of the men and women and the buggy, please share your thoughts! The Devils Tramping Ground has been a recognized place of interest in Chatham since at least as early as 1882, when it was mentioned in a Texas newspaper.

Many thanks to Wally and Sandy Jarrell for sharing this photo with us! It's a great piece of Chatham County history!
