Legend of the Indian Steps
The Indian Steps or Lookout are located off Albion Road. The cut in the boulder is described as a "basalt dike" created by erosion and weathering. It was probably improved upon by the early settlers which created the more perfect steps seen today. The ledge at the Indian Steps is thought to have been a lookout tower. Legend has it that an Indian Princess is buried just beyond the stairsteps in an area circled with rocks.
