It will loose its historic value if moved to another location with none of the character of brick roadway and lovely flora and fauna one might have experienced in the 1930's upon entering Polk County from the North.<br />There are those who think it necessary to move it, so if you have a moment contact the Polk County FL Board of County Commission in Bartow and let them know there are still some who think it should be left alone. Its 86 yrs old, leave it for another 86 and then think about moving it. It is best viewed if traveling south from the Polk/Osceola County Line Road just off 17-92. You will experience the bricks before arriving at the marker on your right. H.

It is a beautiful place to live and visit, and be sure to wave to the locals! Oh, and be careful once you get past Labor Camp Rd, that area is a little rough for tourists.Katienoreply@blogger.com
