The settlement was eventually abandoned in the late 1800s as farmers migrated west, and Questing is now a gorgeous 438-acre space filled with hardwood forest, wetland, small streams, and vernal pools.

The hike to the abandoned village is about one mile and is suitable for hikers of most skill levels.
