История
В 1874 году Джон Кокран из Честера приобрел 103 акра земли у Джошуа Пирсона с намерением разделить ее на участки и продать. Эти участки земли сформировали современное поселение Проспект-Парк. Баптистская церковь Проспект-Хилл в Проспект-Парке утверждает, что сыграла важную роль в появлении фразы "In God We Trust" ("В Боге мы уповаем") на монетах и банкнотах Соединенных Штатов. Бывший пастор Марк Р. Уоткинсон опасался, что Гражданская война оставит страну в плохой репутации, с "братом, воюющим против брата", и написал письмо Салмону П. Чейзу, секретарю казначейства, предложив разместить на монетах слова "Бог, Свобода, Закон". Чейз передал это дело Джеймсу Б. Лонгакре, главному граверу Монетного двора. Впоследствии комитет остановился на фразе "In God We Trust", и она впервые появилась на двухцентовой монете. На табличке, установленной на фасаде церкви, указано место, где впервые была предложена эта фраза. Усадьба Мортона, одно из старейших зданий в Пенсильвании, была внесена в Национальный реестр исторических мест в 1970 году.
