There are multiple markers of this sort bearing the same name along the Lincoln Highway. The signs recant the movement of troops on the way to the infamous Gettysburg Battle of the Civil War. The marker reads:
Part of Gen. Early's Confederate army, under Gen. J.B. Gordon, passed here June 27, 1863, to york. Early's main force followed a parallel route through Hampton and East Berlin. Both entered York the following day.
