Signage in Mahwah, New Jersey

Three types of signs have been posted in Mahwah NJ along the main W3R route and along a subsidiary route that was taken by troops under Gen. Lincoln. The labels in the map above indicate the locations of the signs. When "America's March to Yorktown" passed through Mahwah in September 2006 the marchers saw straw bundles along the route. What did the straw bundles mean?
