Reinstalling historic marker at 308 Main Street, Riverton, NJ, 11/22/2022

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.

Our crew (L-R): Bill Brown, Roger Prichard, and John Laverty. Homeowner Dennis DeVries looks on.

We have installed ten historical markers, including:

…and, coming soon, Ezra Lippincott House 303 Bank Ave.

Can we get an “atta boy” for our crew?

  1. I love how your video correctly depicts John Laverty doing nearly all of the work, while the rest of us are, uh… supervising?
