Historical Marker Applications
From Carrick-Overbrook Historical Society
The Society applied for two Pennsylvania Historical Markers for John M. Phillips and Harriet Duff Phillips. These are the applications. One application for John M. Phillips was approved on March 19, 2007. The application for Harriet Duff Phillips was not for the reason that she did not have a statewide impact. We will revise the application next time.
This is the proposed text by the PHMC:
JOHN M. PHILLIPS
(1861-1953)
Creator of the state game land system, known as the Pennsylvania System, it was a model throughout the nation. Phillips helped create the Pa. Game Commission. A professional engineer and industrialist, he was among the first to intro-duce Boy Scouting in Pa. His home was here.
