NORSA Relaxes Country Style in Emmitsburg, MD

NORSA Team members took some time over MLK weekend to relax at Steve's country house in Emmitsburg, MD. The house is








located so close to Mount Saint Mary's college campus that it might as well be part of the college, and is older than the United States (well ... half of it). Steve will be the first to tell you the history of the house part of which pre-dates the Declaration of Independence, the other half of which was built as an addition sometime in the 1800's.









Using the country house as home-base, NORSA members were able to go on varying outings including trips to Cunningham Falls, a hike to Cat Rock, a tour of the Gettysburg battlefield, and mountain snowsports at various ski resorts a stone's throw away. There was warmth from the fireplace and a place to relax when NORSA members returned from their various voyages. Rich in history and relaxing in spirit, Steve's country home is truly a haven for NORSA folks who need a break from the slap-dash life of the daily rat-race. MLK weekend provided that much needed break. Kudos, country house!
