A PennDOT press release that landed in my inbox says they installed 73 "wayfinding" signs in support of visitpa.com's Civil War Trails in six counties.
Thirteen are in York County, 11 in Adams County, 18 in Cumberland County, 4 in Dauphin County, 20 in Franklin County and seven in Lancaster County. They confirm for motorists that they are on a Pennsylvania Civil War Trail.
I haven't seen any of them yet (although apparently there is one on Main Street in Mechanicsburg near where I live.) Have you? Where are the York County ones?
The Civil War Trail program, sponsored by the state Department of Community and Economic Development and the state Historical & Museum Commission, identifies, maps and promotes the Gettysburg Campaign portion of the Civil War.
It is a continuation of work done in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina to highlight the history of the Civil War in those states.
Here, you can find seven suggested road trips along PA's Civil War Trails.
Fifty-six interpretive signs are scheduled for installation next year.
There's one on Rt. 74 about 2.25 miles north of Dover Borough.
