Ive personally always considered the Mason-Dixon markers a part of Hebron history. While preserved by the Delaware State Society of Daughters of the American Revolution, a boundary dispute between the Penn and Calvert families is the reason for the erection of these monuments. The small stone marks the middle point of the Trans-peninsular Line run west in 1759 from Cape Henlopen -- actually Fenwick Island on the Atlantic. The double crownstone installed in 1768 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon is a cornerstone and marks the true middle point of the peninsula and the southern end of the north-south line of the Mason-Dixon boundary. Instead of passing by the next time you are on State Route 54, stop and say hello to Charles and Jeremiah.
