Signs were an essential part of my travels around the United States. Often, the signs telling about an interesting place were the closest I got to the place due to delivery schedules and road restrictions. Signs let me know on a regular basis that I was on the right road (or sometimes that I was on the wrong one). Signs also helped define the nature of our country and its different regions. I never realized how many colleges, universities, seminaries and academies there were in the U.S. until I took notice of the signs along the interstates proclaiming such institutions. And museums - I've seen signs for the Ava Gardner Museum (Smithfield, NC), antique car museums, quilt museums, doll museums, toy museums, airplane museums, Civil War museums, and dozens of others I can't think of at the moment.

This section contains signs representing many of the states I drove through. The pictures include highway markers, billboards, historical markers, building signs, property markers and other forms of verbal communication. As noted in other sections of this site, if I have mislabeled a picture, send me an e-mail and I will correct it. If you have a picture of an interesting sign that I have missed, attach it to an e-mail and send it on with a description of what and where it is about. I will try to incorporate it into the site. Now let's continue the tour.
