Scantic Green and Historic Marker Restoration
Posted on September 27, 2019 by eastwindsorhistory
Historical Marker Restoration – Funding Raising Campaign
The Historic Marker has been removed and shipped out for restoration as of Sept 25. Progress is being made on the Scantic Green with the planting of the white oak by the Girl Scouts this past Saturday. Update the new marker is in place on the green take a moment to see it. There is a photo of it being installed below. We can now accept donations via a credit card on our website or the link below.
The marker was installed 50 years ago when all 169 towns received an individualize marker. It needs to be sand blasted and powder coated to bring it back to life. It will cost $2000 including shipping and two upright posts.
This green is the gateway to Scantic, the center of East Windsor and we think it deserves sprucing up and a little Tender Loving Care.
