Sunday Stills~ History

Sunday Stills this week is to take a walk into the past, at least 60 years past. A month or so ago I went to a trail drive. You may remember that. On my way how home I stopped and took some pictures of a historical marker. You can read about it here, I am not sure if the sign is 60 years old or not, but the stone one below is. If you click on the sign you will get a bigger picture, easier to read.Here is another marker of the event. A sad moment in history for Wisconsin.
I love these brown signs. They are all over Wisconsin marking historical happening. When ever we see one we stop and read them.

  3. I bet so many of these historical markers go unread. Ithink it is good to take a moment to stop and ponder about what has gone on the road we are travelling.

  5. The first historical marker says it was erected in 1998, so not quite 60 years old....but the event and history it speaks about sure is much older than 60 yrs old.

    I, too enjoy stopping to read the historical markers in our state, too. So many folks just drive on past without realizing how fascinating they are and how much they have to learn about an area or an event that has happened, sometimes in their own backyards basically.

    Nicely done!

  6. Nice job, like that you take time to stop and read those signs. Most people just zoom by and don't know anything about what happened there.
