Memorialized in metal, stone and pixels

A recent addition to the Historical Marker Database: The plaque honoring the New Paltz Patentees, French Hugenots who settled the banks of the Walkill in 1677.

The HMDB is building an "illustrated searchable online catalog of historical information viewed through the filter of roadside and other permanent outdoor markers, monuments, and plaques." Anyone is welcome to contribute.
