Legacy Signs Depict Anderson’s Rich History
Three permanent signs have been installed in public locations as a lasting remembrance of Anderson’s 225th anniversary.
The large two-sided markers include nearly a total of 100 historic photos or illustrations depicting the early history of the township, as well as more recent developments.
Clough Pike and Hunley Road – In Front of Greenfield Plant Farm
Positioned near the historic James Clark Stone House, this sign includes a portrait of community namesake Richard Clough Anderson and surveyor Ichabod Benton Miller, the man who laid out the road along the creek in 1805. Images of the families who lived in the Miller-Leuser Log House are captured, as well as photos of churches, schools, farms and families of the fertile Clough Creek area.
