We, too, have been pricing signs for pioneer cemeteries. What an awakening! A modest, faux wood sign similar to our local township idenification signs would have cost $1,500-$2,000. The most economical "sign" we've found is an engraved stone at 40 cents a pound.

Our historical society has been pricing signs for our pionner homstead, and cannot find anything at all under several hundred dollars, and most are over a thousand. Several years ago we bought one for our museum, and it was over $500 and was the very cheapest we could find. Sizes are pretty comparable to what the Historical Bureau is offering, and they are some sort of resin, not metal. It does sound expensive, but it looks like a bargain to me, when you compare it purchasing signs on the open market.
