Dear friends,

Thank you for supporting the Pennsylvania historical marker nomination recognizing the 1844 Kensington Riots. The full application was submitted to PHMC on April 1. 

For your reference, a folder containing the complete submission including the application, relevant citations, and all supporting materials is available here.

PHMC has indicated that staff will announce the results in late September or early October. I’ll be sure to keep you informed as soon as I receive an update.

Kevin

P.S. - Pending approval, if you would like to volunteer to help organize the dedication ceremony and a community celebration in May 2026, please email me to express your interest: kevin.j.brett@gmail.com
