Historic Glen Avenue

This colonial road, traditionally an Indian Trail, was a key route to Peremus Church during the American Revolution. Former names of this road mark eras in America’s history – Franklin Turnpike, for the Tory governor Wm. Franklin; Harrison Ave., for Benjamin Harrison, 23rd U.S. President. Also called Libby Lane at one time, for a noted local family.

Marker is on East Glen Avenue just east of North Maple Avenue, on the right when traveling west.
