The artist conducted extensive research into the history and culture of Broward County from antiquity to present day, working with Broward County Historical Commission; local historians and educators; Archaeologist Dr. Bob Carr, an expert in Florida archaeology; and individuals from the sites where the prototypes are installed.

The Cultural Heritage Landmark Project has a challenge to have 10 markers installed each year in order to have 100 landmarks in place by the County’s 100th birthday in 2015. That will be another important year to celebrate and cities are encouraged to become a part of this unifying program.
