This boundary monument was placed in 1892 to mark the complicated (and still contested until 1921) boundary between Delaware and Pennsylvania. The monument is a tall dressed stone, carved with PA on the north side, DE on the south side, 17 (for mile 17) on the west side, and 1892 on the east side. The top is marked with a line and a short crossbar mark in the center of the stone.
