As of February 22, this project was in its research stages. At the moment we have restricted our geographic area to the city of Fredericksburg and we\u2019ve begun to do research on our historical markers. We\u2019ve split up the total 177 historical markers into 44 markers for each person to research. Over the next two weeks we will be first looking at the basic information available on HMD (sign inscription, location\/coordinates, suggested sources), taking it with a grain of salt and using it as a launching point. We plan on only completing 40 signs, and we will have these sights chosen and preliminary researched (bibliography) by March 15. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
