The oldest roadside historical marker in the Town of Sand Lake dates from 1938. The remaining dozen or so markers all date from this (21st) century, but some of them are approaching 15-20 year of age and are beginning to show that age!That 1938 marker is cast iron -- heavy, and prone to rusting over time.
