This is the landslide path just above the Willey Boulders in Crawford Notch in Hart’s Location, New Hampshire. The Willey Boulders saved the Willey House from destruction on August 28, 1826, when a massive landslide came down Mount Willey. These boulders were located just above the house and caused the landslide to split into two debris flows around the house. The house was said to be untouched, but all seven members of the family and two hired men perished in the slide while trying to escape to a safe area.
