SOS is proposing the creation of a Stepney Heritage Trail that would involve a marker system to allow onlookers to recognize town property as historical landmarks, according to Joel Leneker, a Stepney businessman and one of SOS's organizers.

Homes would have to meet five criteria to be on the trail: they would have to be significant architecturally; accessible from the general road; include significant landscaping or resources, such as a pond or cemetery; be 75 years old or older and in decent repair.
