View Full Version : Little Orleans, MD
As the final day of turkey season ends here in Maryland, comes with it some bad news. If anyone on this forum has been to Bill's Place in Little Orleans, MD I believe you'll be a bit disheartened. Mr. Bill Schoenadel, the owner of Bill's Place was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, and given 6 months to live. The reason I posted this is because Bill's is known throughout the country, so maybe you've been. Just something to share, and if you can, stop in and have a cold one. there is no website, but i found a blurb here http://www.eastcoaststurgis.com/id8.html

Sorry to hear..I lived over that way most of my life and never heard of the place..
Bill's is located in the heart of Greenridge State Forest on the corner of High Germany road & Oldtown Orleans road. It's in the middle of nowhere next to the C&O canal. Great atmosphere.
Bill Schoenadel, owner of Bill's Place located in Little Orleans, MD passed away on January 5th 2013. The wife and I stopped into Bills Place on Saturday, and heard the bad news. Rest in Peace Bill, I will miss your stories and humor :(
