§3 Historic Markers
These are the familiar yellow on blue roadside signs that you never stopped to read, originally erected by the state Department of Education.
It is not known if all markers remain in place, nor is it known if all the ones listed here lie within the boundary of the Little Nine Partners patent. These facts will be ascertained by physical inventory with a GPS receiver.
Many of these data were extracted from Museum Services - Historic Markers, [http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/historicmarkers/]. Some sign texts have been found to differ from that listed in the document.
WARNING
If you decide to visit these markers...
Also, be aware that some of these markers lie on private property. Take care to respect the rights of the owners.
Site Markers
The push pins
in these maps show the locations of the marker signs,

Area Markers
There are no area markers that lie within the bounds of the Little Nine Partners patent, but there are three nearby Area Markers that are relevant to our area.
Dutchess County, extending from the Hudson River to the Taconic Mountains, stretched originally from Westchester to Albany County. It was formed in 1683 and named for the wife of the Duke of York. Principally a rolling upland, cut by streams and deep valleys, it was divided into large land grants. Dutch settled along the river banks before 1690. In the 18th century the interior was occupied by French Huguenots, German Palatines, and Quakers from Connecticut and Long Island. Ore deposits in the Taconics, led to small iron works in the 18th century. Shipbuilding flourished in river communities. In the 1830's and '40s, whalers from Poughkeepsie ventured to distant seas. Abundant water power contributed to the growth of textile factories. Twentieth century industries include publishing and manufacture of dairy appliances and business machines. The interior is still a prosperous agricultural area, specializing in fruit, livestock and dairy products. Poughkeepsie was settled in 1687 and is the county seat. The State Legislature met there several times between 1777 and the 1790's. Vassar College was founded there in 1861. Large estates of wealthy and prominent families, such as those of the Roosevelts, Vanderbilts, and Ogden Mills, have occupied prospects along the Hudson.
1. Taconic State Parkway, Town of Stanford.
[I cannot find it.
My theory is that it was in what appears to be a pair of abandoned turnouts pinpointed in the map.
The reason for its removal is a mystery.]
| |||
2. North of Pawling, on east side of NY Rte 22, just north of County Rte 63, in the rest area.
| |||
3. Taconic State Parkway northbound side, ca 5 miles north of Columbia County Rte 2, in the scenic overlook before County Rte 8.

About the program
The State Historical Marker Program of the State Education Department (1926-1939), begun as a commemoration the Sesquicentennial of the American Revolution, raised more than 2800 of these small, cast iron roadside signs. Public funding sources dried up at that time and the program fell into abeyance -- although some of the signs bear a date of 1940.
That program was succeeded in 1960 by a new State Historic Marker Program. By that time it was considered no longer safe to place small roadside site markers and it was decided that the new program would place larger, regional or area markers in selected rest areas and the like to supplement the extant site markers of the earlier program.
The complete history of the program, in all its incarnations, is detailed here:

These slides were taken a number of years ago, probably before 1973. The deterioration in the condition of the markers over the years is quite evident when comparing to today's condition.
