This Girl Scout Gold Award Project will develop and install a historical plaque on the Butler-Freeport Trail at Herman.

The project will highlight the building that was formerly the community's general store, post office, and ticket station; it will also present the history of the trail and the community of Herman.

The grant from the Trail Volunteer Fund is being used to purchase materials for the sign.

Grant awarded April 2008
Project completed August 2009

No worthy project with willing volunteers should founder for lack of tools or materials.

The Trail Volunteer Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation celebrates the efforts of the volunteers who are developing multi-use bicycle and walking trails by providing tools and materials they need for projects that develop and maintain the network of multiuse trails in western Pennsylvania and surrounding areas.
