The Repair of the Berry's Trace Historical Marker
Berry's Trace Historical Marker (69.1972.1) located at US 421/Madison & Wilson Streets, Napoleon, Ripley County- before and after restoration.
The Ripley County Historical Society furnished the supplies and Phil Abrams, leader of Boy Scout Troop 638, Napoleon, enthusiastically agreed to repaint the marker which had been installed in 1972 by the Society of Indiana Pioneers. This is a great way to teach his young scouts to take pride in their community and heritage. . . and they learned the story behind the marker. The Scout Troop has volunteered to monitor the marker in the future to assure that the marker and the site are well maintained.
