Rockingham Meeting House historic marker: a simple problem worth solving

For years, I have passed by the Rockingham Meeting House and sometimes stopped my car to ask myself again, “How is someone supposed to read the historic roadside marker on Route 103 just below the Rockingham Meeting House?”

Again, when I attended the annual program at the meeting house, I purposely went back to the sign and determined whether someone had noticed this shortcoming (actually, long-coming, due to its extra-long pole!) and was giving it the attention it deserves.

The old adage “if you want something done, do it yourself” comes to mind, so I am starting my campaign to bring attention to the travesty.

Please drive by and look for this sign. Stop your car and try to read it!

I have no idea how long ago this sign was erected, but I think it is time for us to care enough to get that sign lowered.

With all the complex problems in the world, wouldn't it feel good to find the provenance of this sign and simply be able to read it?
