1. Peter Stucky's Wagon Shop Marker

Inscription. Peter Stuckey was not only a farmer, but also a skilled craftsman who ran a wagon shop, similar to this one, on his farm. Improvements in farming equipment, the help of grown sons, and the assistance of a hired man gave Peter time to repair and build wagons for neighbors. He was well-known for a narrow wheel that moved wagons more easily through the swampy ground. The income from the wagon shop increased the family's prosperity.
