Colonial Road Corridors: Opportunities for Growth

Primary roads ran up and down the Hudson River, with a secondary road branching off through Goshen and Warwick.

Milestones were placed along major roads in colonial days, to help guide travelers and to compute distances for postmasters.  Warwick still has several visible.  This one is on Oakland Avenue, and marks the distance to Newburgh.  The known Warwick markers are in a red stone that is not native to Warwick. This suggests the possibility these are among the milestones planned or inspired by Benjamin Franklin when he was Postmaster General.
