Proposed long term projects
9: Historical Markers and Way-Finding Signage
The seventh potential project is to develop a consistent, clear, and prominent series of historical markers, interpretive signage, and way-finding markers and signage within the site area. The site has many historically significant buildings located within it as well as a Revolutionary War Battle site at Mill Hill Park. |
Maps containing existing and historic street grids overlaid would help to clarify where events took place and paving, striping, or other markers along roadways and walkways could make those historic places more overtly clear.
At the South Broad Street Assunpink Bridge, a Triumphal Arch was erected to celebrate Washington’s victory and arrival. This location could also be marked with a reproduction of the arch or even a modern interpretation of it to help mark and define this event. A reconstructed arch would also make a very clear gateway and marker at Revolutionary War battle site that is Mill Hill Park.
