Narrative and photographs

It’s impossible to miss this benchmark! The old school, now the Jefferson Township Municipal Building, is a prominent landmark. The disk has been painted over several times (and the layers of paint partially scraped away); it is in good condition with legible stamping, solid in its setting.
