Twenty trees were purchased and planted in front, nine for the 9 and another eleven for the 11, thus bringing the total to twenty trees planted in front of this gateway to the fields. The backdrop is the old Lincoln Highway. The trees and sign were paid for by donors classified as red, white and blue donors, red being the highest and most generous. The marker reads:
