Ever pass a historical marker while driving and think, “That looks interesting – wish I had time to stop and read it.”
Now, through the efforts of historically-minded volunteers, you can view a ever-growing number of Pennsylvania historical markers on the web. Through the Waymarking.com site, each marker is photographed and linked to a location on a map. Not every marker is up yet (the Old Stone House will be added soon!) but the list is extensive.
This is a nice use of web & GPS technology, giving Pennsylvanians a chance to read these (unfortunately) often bypassed markers of the Keystone State’s past. Of course, there’s no substitute for visiting an actual historic place, so use the site’s map, locate a few sites near you, and go exploring!
