PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — The city of Portsmouth is working to restore about 40 historic marker signs that are scattered throughout its downtown.
The markers were originally created in 1977 through a partnership between the city, a civic association and Strawbery Banke.
The old markers used photographic images and typewritten texts on aluminum sheets. New graphics, color and materials are being used on the new signs.
