The sign is rectangular, with a circle at the top containing the name of the trail and an image representing the current stop.
In the present circle, there is an illustration of a lesson (apparently geography) in a classroom at the Gymnasia, showing the teacher pointing at a map of the Land of Israel Click for a larger image.

The trail describes the journey of pilgrims to the Land of Israel from the 18th century – from the port of Jaffa to the various points they passed along the way.

The current stop tells the story of the first school where teaching was conducted in Hebrew – the Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasia, which was located here in the home of Pania and Dr. Yehuda Leib Matmon-Cohen.
In 1909, the Gymnasia moved to Tel Aviv, to Herzl Street. At that time, the word “Herzliya” was added to the Hebrew Gymnasia in honor of Theodor (Binyamin Ze’ev) Herzl.
The building into which the Gymnasia moved on Herzl Street was one of the most impressive buildings in Tel Aviv at that time Click for sign's details, Click for sign's details.
In 1958, the historic building on Herzl Street was demolished, and the Gymnasia moved to its current location on Jabotinsky Street in Tel Aviv Click for sign's details. The demolition of the building, carried out to make way for the Shalom Tower, underscored the importance of preserving heritage sites.

The graves of Pania and Yehuda Leib Matmon-Cohen are located in the founders’ section of the Trumpeldor Cemetery in Tel Aviv Click for sign's details (their gravestone is designed in the shape of the historic Gymnasia building on Herzl Street). They are also commemorated in the monument to the city’s founders located opposite Independence Hall Click for sign's details, Click for sign's details, Click for sign's details.

The location of the sign, where the home of the Matmon-Cohens once stood, was photographed on the same day Click for a larger image.
