A new short trail showcasing highlights and history of Shelby County has been completed along the Blue River Trail in Shelbyville, Indiana. The 13 signs are placed at intervals with two “letters” each on the signs.

The whole trail and sign placements are very nicely landscaped with trees and flowers. Scattered around are large limestone “benches”. These have been quarried from a Shelby County quarry that has has been in operation for decades.

It is in fact brand new, I think the city just finished it a couple of weeks ago, and we found it last week.

It really is quite clever and fun to read the signs. I bet the committee had fun coming up with what to put for each letter…
