The entrance to the subdivision showing the stone with the plaque incorporated into the brick work. Photo taken October 21, 2007.

The authors were returning from a visit to the Hazleton Bridge when they noticed the small plaque at the entrance to a subdivision northwest of Fort Branch. The fort on the marker looked like something Honig would have made.

A few months later, research at the Princeton Library revealed the plaque was made by Honig. The articles can be found in the newspaper section. Look for the Fort Branch and Princeton newspapers. Both stated that this was the first historical marker of this nature in Gibson County.

Apparently, there was much discussion about the marker being built into the brick entrance. At least, it wasn't destroyed.
