Signs of History ^®

Along the early turnpikes the law required mile posts.  Some were cut from stone and some cast in iron.  They showed the distance to each end of the turnpike.  Typical of the stone markers are 14 along the east side of the present highway at their approximate initial locations beside the old Bardstown Louisville Turnpike.  See over.
