On 8/20, Claude Nivens posted to the list:: Freemont, PA is located South of Nottingham, near where Route #1 crosses the Pennsylvania border. Nottingham Park is located on the West side of Route #1. Freemont is located on the West entrance road to Nottingham Park. This information comes from the Microsoft Trip Planner. I have found it valuable in locating small places.
