Gazebo Quest '08

Here are the pictures from Gazebo Quest '08...
The heretofore assumed mythical gazebo is located at the Bristol Station stop on the SEPTA R7 line. (Near a statue of some civil war looking dude.)
And here it is.
If you squint, I'm sure you can read all the interesting historical details in the first picture. For those whose eye sight isn't quite so good, check out the second picture. If you squint, you'll see a ducky.
Easier to read. Please note that I did not fish, swim, dog, skateboard, or alcoholic beverage at the gazebo, but I did loiter. (Please don't arrest me, Bristol Borough Delaware Canal Lagoon Park Rangers.)
Now, I'm not 100% sure that this is a gazebo. I think most gazebos are white and made of wood.
This might be, like, a Colonial Star Temple. (Did the Colonials have Star Temples? I can't remember.)
Now, about the gazebo Star Temple... In the middle of the floor, is this:
...which I think is a picture of William Penn killing Indians. Around this circle a series of inscribed stones:
The first two said "Washington Crossing the Delaware" and "Penn's Barge." So apparently they're commemorating specific moments.
Then they go a little weird. Yes, that's "Ship Shield," "Log College," and (seriously?!?) "Towns End Apple."
I feel like this last one actually explains the rest of them, but I couldn't read it on the day, and it's not any clearer in the picture.
I make this out to read "Ring Bait, 1515, Granny Psvillign, Sasulla."
Ah, yes. Now everything makes sense.
