The Wagner-Holum Farmstead sign along the Saucon Rail Trail in Lower Saucon Township has been covered with black plastic due to the offensive nature of the graffiti someone spray painted on it. Police are asking anyone with information about the vandalism to contact them.

Editor’s note: Saucon Source has decided not to publish a photo of the graffiti because we believe doing so is in the best interests of our community, which is known as a welcoming place. With regard to incidents involving hateful images, photojournalism can also be subject to misinterpretation, as it may be viewed as glorifying such messaging. We will not be complicit in allowing this. We do believe it is important for the public to know the serious nature of the graffiti that was painted on public property.

A sign along the Saucon Rail Trail in Lower Saucon Township has been vandalized for the second time in as many months, disrupting the peaceful atmosphere for which the popular path is known.

Lower Saucon Township Police shared on their Crimewatch site that both sides of the Wagner-Holum Farmstead sign near Meadows Road were defaced with gold spray paint; an act of vandalism they described as “similar to the incident that occurred on May 30, 2025.“

Police said they responded to the latest incident involving vandalism of the sign at 9:24 a.m. Thursday.
