More signs.

I rarely read all the signs. I'd like to blame the kids, but the reality is that I usually am not a sign reader. The teacher in me is horrified about this. So, most of the time, I take pictures of the signs in case I change my mind about reading them at a later time.

I really (really!) do read a lot of them when we get home, but rarely when we are out.

These signs explain how Belmont, Columbus and Cairo were connected during this war time. For those of you who aren't sign readers, the answer is the river. All these towns were on the river, but opposite sides. The river was a major transportation route for supplies and people, so controlling the river was important.
