It stood there from the colonial years of our country until recently on Route 7, but it is no longer there. It is named Number 4 because it denoted that it is 4 miles from Norwalk's post office. It was used to determine postage due.
It is inscribed:
IV
MS
TO
NOR
There are eight still in place in town. Number 4 once stood in front of the Milestone Garage which operated from 1921 to 1970.
However, this story has a happy ending. It was taken down by the town while nearby office construction goes on and will be returned to its place afterwards.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
