Inscription.

These three buildings are not original to New Philadelphia. However, they stood in Pike County in the same era and they have interesting histories. Rescued by the landowner and placed over surviving New Philadelphia foundations, they protect the foundations, while giving us an idea of what the early buildings here might have looked like. Do not leave the path! The buildings are fragile and not able to withstand visitors.
