Historic Markers: Not Always Accurate!

Just because you see a historic marker doesn't mean you are at a historic site. Being involved on a historic commission myself, I know that markers are typically placed where people are most likely to see them - not necessarily where something happened. On the flip side, wherever you are standing at any moment could be the site of a significant event, and you might not even realize it. You can only learn about history with certainty by doing your own research and making educated guesses about where actual sites are.
