Cincinnati, Ohio

Eternal Life on the Landscape:  Hank Williams will live forever in downtown Cincinnati, where "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" was recorded at the Herzog.  Erecting a historical marker is one way we keep people around long after they have passed.  Of course, this isn't the only marker on which Williams' name appears.  [2012]

Landrum, South Carolina

Commemorating Covered Bridges:  Here is the last covered bridge in South Carolina.  Sorry, the last extant covered bridge in South Carolina.  Every word should count on a historical marker.  Does 'extant' add even a shade of meaning to the text?  Does anyone ever use the word 'extant'?  [2006]

Danville, Vermont

Centered or Justified?  Every line is centered, rather non-conventional for narrative text.  Do you like it?  Most markers offer block-form presentation.  Contents?  Excellent by my standards.  And now I understand why there's a Caledonia State Park in Pennsylvania.  [2009]

Windsor, Vermont

It's All About the House:  It's now called the Constitution House, but it was built as a tavern.  The text says little about the structure, but it does connect the Vermont constitution to the cultural landscape, and that is one of the most important functions of historical markers.  [2009]
