These locations already have some information on them. However, there may or may not be enough for a historic marker, or there may be too much. Your job is to condense or expand, using the sources provided at the end of the listing, your chosen site.
This is a deceptively simple assignment. The maximum character limit (not word) is 480, which means that EVERY WORD must be perfect. Your essays will then be turned into the creators of the StoryMap to add to it, should you discover new information.
