The proposed plan focuses on accessibility of the whole site and preservation of historic objects. By bringing local material to the paving system, historic objects such as the “Wishing well” near the school and the “Waiting tree” in front of the church are connected, creating new spaces for people to gather and learn the history of Shiloh.
