The Historical Marker has a roof structure built over it to somewhat protect it from the weather. Next to the marker is an original water pump used by the school in the late 1800's, along with a benchmark and a witness post.
The area is maintained by the donor and his family. Otherwise it would be overgrown with weeds and scrub brush.
