It was mentioned as early as 1792 by early historian Jeremy Belknap. He described it as: &#8220;This glacial gorge, &#8216;The Devil&#8217;s Kitchen,&#8217; was an early tourist attraction, and its high waterworn wall and large potholes can still be found, high above the river&#8221;.<br \/>Unfortunately, the site is now located on private property and the landowners are not keen on having any visitors, so I am not able to get any images or see what it looks like today compared to what the early settlers saw. I am sure it is now very overgrown with vegetation.<\/p><p>Luckily, the Lebanon Historical Society has some older scanned images of Devil&#8217;s Kitchen, some dating back to the late 1800s.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c43f769 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c43f769\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"953\" height=\"878\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.travispaigephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/devils.kitchen.2.pics_.-1988x974.BMP-091-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1403 lazyload\" alt=\"devil&#039;s kitchen 2\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.travispaigephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/devils.kitchen.2.pics_.-1988x974.BMP-091-2.jpg 953w, https:\/\/blog.travispaigephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/devils.kitchen.2.pics_.-1988x974.BMP-091-2-300x276.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.travispaigephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/devils.kitchen.2.pics_.-1988x974.BMP-091-2-768x708.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 953px) 100vw, 953px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 953px;

Back in 2015, my son and I went searching for Tipping Rock. A large erratic located somewhere in the Landmark\/Boston Lot property that used to be somewhat of a tourist attraction over a hundred years ago. We finally found it with the story making the local paper. My December 2015 blog post is here which describes our journey in finding the lost rock. Early Undated Photo of Tipping Rock My Son Trying to Tip Tipping Rock Another tourist attraction back in the day was the Devil&#8217;s Kitchen. It was mentioned as early as 1792 by early historian Jeremy Belknap. He described it as: &#8220;This glacial gorge, &#8216;The Devil&#8217;s Kitchen,&#8217; was an early tourist attraction, and its high waterworn wall and large potholes can still be found, high above the river&#8221;. Unfortunately, the site is now located on private property and the landowners are not keen on having any visitors, so I am not able to get any images or see what it looks like today compared to what the early settlers saw. I am sure it is now very overgrown with vegetation. Luckily, the Lebanon Historical Society has some older scanned images of Devil&#8217;s Kitchen, some dating back to the late 1800s.
