Description: Pennsylvania State Historical marker from 1926, marking the site of (a branch of) the Minquas Path, an Indian Path connecting the Susquehanna River to the Delaware River, used in the 1600s and later to trade beaver pelts. Located just off 45 Rose Valley Road in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania, right next to the NRHP Thunderbird Lodge. Rose Valley is also on the NRHP as a Historic District. (The marker is specifically mentioned in the both the Rose Valley HD and Thunderbird Lodge NRHP nominations). A regular new style PHMC marker is placed right next to it, about 3 feet to the left, but out of this photo. The new marker repeats similar text as the old marker. Marker is in total about 4 feet high and easy to miss at a turn of Rose Valley Road. If you want to see it park at the Hedge Row Theater and walk about 30 yards north. Spots on the beaver are raindrops. Beaver sculpture by Albert Laessle, 1926, see SIRIS, no visible copyright notice so public domain.
