Rededication of The Lynching of George White Historical Marker

The Lynching of George White Historical Marker documents the lynching of George White in the Prices Corner area in June 1903. Savannah Shepherd, a high school senior at the Sanford School, initiated the process of this dedication. After the first historical marker was reported stolen in early August, a replacement marker was ordered.

About the event: This event is being held to dedicate the replacement historical marker, which was funded with generous donations from private citizens.

Marker Location: SW corner of Greenbank Park, near brick tower from NCC Workhouse
