New Garrett Farm Marker to be Replaced

[L Verge]

Unfortunately, the sign will have to go back to the same area where it was stolen - on the right-hand shoulder of 301, across the dual-lanes of Rt. 301. Dave Taylor and I had wanted it moved to its original location of years ago in the median strip within feet of the site of the Garrett farmhouse porch where Booth died. That was rejected for safety sake. The median strip had a pull-off (before barricades went up) that was wide enough for our tour buses, but the officials feared the safety factor. Where they are putting it back practically prevents anyone from stopping to read the sign.
