Plans for battle re-enactment and signs march on in Birmingham

Plans for a battle re-enactment in Birmingham Township are inching forward and so is a plan for interactive signs at Sandy Hollow Heritage Park.

Members of the Birmingham Township Recreation, Parks and Open Space Committee got approval from township supervisors on May 6 to spend up to $2,000 for the signs to be installed at the park. One sign would be similar to the sign at Birmingham Hill, complete with a QR Code that allows people with smart phones and other portable devices to access information on the Battle of Brandywine from the Internet while on site.

A second sign being considered is one with more graphics and simpler text aimed at younger visitors.

Pannier, a Pittsburgh-based company makes the signs. Volunteers in Birmingham will install them.

The township is still planning a battle re-enactment, now scheduled for May 17 and 18 of 2014 at sandy Hollow.
