Description:Roadside historic markers are our windows to the past. They educate us, they make us curious to investigate, or they provide a nice excuse to take a break and stretch our legs while we read what happened here. Pennsylvania's historic marker program is a great way to learn the history of the Keystone State! See waymark creation and logging requirements below.

The category's equivalent of a lamp post micro. There's nothing to see here except an Eat 'N Park. There used to be a lock and dam nearby. Hooray for that.

How very cool that such a distinguished jurist lived in such unpretentious surroundings. It doesn't get much more "real" than McKees Rocks.

I'm sure he wrote lovely songs. But if you want a REAL reason for a historic marker, it would be "On this spot, a wacky guy and gal decided to name their boy ETHELBERT."

This was a hard place to get to! Take the ramp off the McKees Rocks Bridge and follow your GPS to Ranger Field, a nice little park we discovered while documenting this waymark.

This labor union marker seems out of place next to an elementary school on Pittsburgh's North Side. But the nearby Allegheny Center area is rich in history, so check this one out during your visit to the neighborhood.
