Photo from the booklet “DuPont Pompton Lakes Works: 75 Years, 1902-1977,” captioned “...resenting the attachment, this maple tree tries to hide the no tresspassing sign with overgrowth. Erected in 1908, the sign became [obsolete] when [the] plant fence perimeter was enlarged.” The sign reads, “NO TRESPASSING - NO SHOOTING. All persons are hereby warned against trespassing or shooting on this property, under penalty of the law.”

Another futile sign on the interior of the property, as seen in September 2020
