When the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission declined to replace the plaque, Jim decided to take matters into his own hands. He collaborated with Franklin Bronze Plaques, a company based in Franklin, Pennsylvania, to recreate the original marker with its exact wording.
With the help of his daughter, Briana, Jim worked closely with the company over the course of four months to ensure the plaque’s accuracy to the original. Thanks to their efforts, the memory of Francis Daniel Pastorius now once again has a place of honor.
