Title: Ozark Frontier Trail signs
Post by: Road Hog on July 02, 2012, 03:39:29 PM
Up until the mid or late 1970s some Arkansas highways had secondary signs (similar to Great River Road signs) designating an Ozark Frontier Trail. AR 25 had these signs crossing Greers Ferry Dam. Does anyone have an image of these signs?

this is from a late 1960s Kansas reference.  I do not know if the Arkansas shields looked the same.

Actually, they looked exactly like that. Green on a white background. (I should've said "Trail" instead of "Highway" and I might've found more.)

I don't want to out the person who sent me a photo, but thank you for sending it!  :clap: I'll post it here at some point. I might crop the sign, colorize it green and use it as an avatar.
