Why do these birds poop so much in the birdbath!?
Seriously, birds, you drink from that birdbath!

James Loewen's Lies Across America gives many great examples of bad historical markers (both in general and in detail), with many of the topics mentioned in that NPR piece covered in his book. I'm disappointed in NPR that they didn't cite his work, whether that's because they didn't know about it or because they knew about it but didn't mention it.
(NPR has even interviewed him in the past, though I can't blame them for not interviewing him for this piece since he died in 2021.)
