Monument

The large monument honoring Indian Hannah, considered the last of the Lenni-Lenape Indians, was moved on Thursday, March 6, from its old site along Route 52 north -- the stretch that was abandoned when the new road opened -- and now sits opposite the main entrance of Longwood Gardens, just across Longwood Road, at the Brandywine Valley Tourism Information building. When I saw the freshly transplanted monument at its new home the afternoon of Friday, March 7, the base was still swaddled in a blue tarpaulin. I was very glad to see the marker again, and it will certainly get a lot more sun than it did in its old shaded location. I'm told a re-dedication ceremony is planned for the spring, with dignitaries.
