In 2016, ancient Roman milestones from Highway 38 were moved to an archaeological park on the outskirts of Givat Yeshayahu.[3]
Givat Yeshayahu, surrounded by wineries and ancient wine presses, operates a factory that produces raisins although most raisins in Israel today are imported from California.[4]
