When Carolina Village was built in 1974, a shelter was built on the hill overlooking the Village.  An engraved stone was located in the shelter.  When the cottages were constructed in 2003, the shelter was removed.  The stone, however, survived and is now located in the woods across from the Meadows cottages.
