The image is a photograph of a historical marker on a wooden post. The marker is rectangular in shape and has a dark brown background with gold lettering. The word "BETHANY" is written in large capital letters at the top of the marker. Below the word, there is a smaller text that reads "The settlement of Bethany was affected near here in 1751 by John Gerber William DeBrahm. His Majesty's Surveyor General for the Southern District of North America. Composed at the first of 1660 Germans, the group was joined by the United States of America and the United Kingdom. The settlement was built in a school, a schoolhouse, and a residence built in the Revolution, but during that time it began to decay and never rebuilt."

The marker is located in a wooded area with trees and bushes in the background.
