The sign is back up at Leaders Sunoco. Pumping gas is still at least a week or more away.

At least the sign is back up at Leaders Sunoco in Chadds Ford Village. The sign was knocked down in December when a truck ran through the gas station one Sunday morning. There are no gasoline prices showing on the sign because the pumps still have to be replaced. They were destroyed in the Sept. 1 flood. Dan Leader said they’ve been told that the pumps could be delivered on April 16.

Learn how that book helped Lincoln become the 16th president during an online discussion of the book through the Chester County History Center’s April 26 presentation For the Union: Launching Lincoln's Quest for the Presidency in Chester County.
