Historic Street (East Entrance Historical Marker)

Here follows the inscription written on this roadside historical marker:

Historic Street
In the 1790's many Alexandria streets were paved with cobblestones. According to legend, Hessian soldiers provided the labor to cobble Princess Street. These cobbles remained essentially untouched until 1979, when the street was restored using the original cobbles.

EDITOR'S NOTE: An identical marker can be seen on the other end of the block.
