Our elite Volunteer Sub-Committee on Excavations installed a new historical marker at the Joseph Campbell home at 308 Main Street, Riverton, NJ. An auto accident took out the first one.
On 9/9/2022, a car crashed into the post for the historical marker at the Joseph Campbell house at the corner of 4th & Main. The offending driver’s insurance company (State Farm) quickly reimbursed us for a new post, and Roger ordered a replacement. Amazingly, the sign came through unscathed.

Great work guys I!!
I love how your video correctly depicts John Laverty doing nearly all of the work, while the rest of us are, uh… supervising?
Well done all! Glad to see it back.
I love all the markers around town. A big thank you! Riverton is an awesome place to live❤️
