Public & Civic Art Restoration in Lancaster County
Miller Monuments installs and restores engraved public art and civic memorials in granite, bronze and other memorial materials across Lancaster County, PA.
When the City of Lancaster needed the lettering on the Poetry Path in Penn Square brought back to life, they asked us to do the work.
Featured Project: The Poetry Path
In October 2026, we restored the engraved lettering on the Poetry Path in Penn Square, downtown Lancaster, for the City of Lancaster.
The poem "Bricks and Mortar" by Barbara Buckman Strasko, Lancaster County's first Poet Laureate, is cut into about 135 feet of North American pink granite. Over time, the lettering had become hard to read. Today it reads clearly again.
How we restored it: after the City pressure-washed the granite, we cleaned and blew out every letter, masked the surrounding stone section by section, and rolled on a release agent to protect the polished surface. We sprayed Shadow Black LithoChrome into the recessed lettering, then removed the masking, scrubbed off the release agent, and gave the granite a detailed cleaning.
We worked in fenced-off sections, timed for dry, warm stone and planned around the busy days at Lancaster Central Market, so the square stayed open to the public.
What We Can Help With
Restoring Engraved Lettering
We bring faded inscriptions, poems and names on engraved granite back to full legibility, so the work can be read and enjoyed again.
Granite Cleaning
Careful, detailed cleaning of monuments, markers and engraved stone, so public pieces look well cared for again.
Installation
We set memorial markers and engraved pieces in granite and bronze, and we create a wide range of custom work. Bring us your ideas and dreams. We plan every installation around the needs of the customer, whether it's foot traffic or public events.
Who We Work With
Cities and boroughs, parks departments, churches, schools and colleges, historical societies, veterans memorial committees and cemetery associations across Lancaster County.
