Lincoln (Lebanon – 20)


  • COORDINATES: Uncertain where this marker was originally located.

  • EXPLANATION OF NAME: Formerly New Ephrata Renamed For President Lincoln

  • STATUS: Previously known only from Clair Clawser book. Two "LINCOLN" Markers were found in the collection of the Cocalico Valley History Musuem in Ephrata.
