Indiantown Gap Military Reservation Historical Marker in Lebanon County

Over the past 10 years we've been following the Pennsylvania Historical Marker Trail all through our great state and documenting them here on the blog. Millions of people walk or drive by these markers every year and never give them a second thought. They're a great source of historic information and we're trying to bring some much needed attention to them.

While following the Historical Marker Trail through Lebanon County we came across the Indiantown Gap Military Reservation historical marker in Annville, Pennsylvania. There are at least 3 of these markers located in Annville with this particular one located on Route 22 just before the Indiantown Gap exit. There are 2 of them, one on each side of route 22. There is a third one located on Fisher Avenue. All 3 of them contain identical information. You can carefully pull off the side of the road (flashers on) and grab a quick photograph for your waymarking records.
