Description

The boulder is the platform for a fiberglass mule statue decorating the corner. The mule project is one of 179 mules in the Delaware Valley that celebrate the Delaware Canal (1820-1931) which transported anthracite coal from Easton, PA to Bristol. The Bristol Cultural and Historic Foundation paid for the mule. An artist from New Hope, PA painted the scene on the mule.
