Based on the list of landmarks created by AA&CC, further historic research and site observations, we currently identified seven locations to place signs.
Each sign will provide historical context based on its location.
Here is a list of sites and topics that we currently have planned. As we continue our research, we hope to identify more sites, especially on Maryland Ave, 20th St, and along St. Paul St. If you have information that can help us identify more significant locations, please contact us! We would love your help and to make sure we're not forgetting anything.
AA&CC가 작성한 랜드마크 목록, 추가적인 역사 연구 및 현장 조사를 바탕으로 현재 표지판을 설치할 7곳의 장소를 선정했습니다. 각 표지판에는 해당 위치와 관련된 역사적 배경 정보가 제공될 것입니다.
앞으로도 연구를 계속하여 특히 메릴랜드 애비뉴, 20번가, 그리고 세인트 폴 스트리트를 따라 더 많은 장소를 발굴할 계획입니다.-
