Road Signs Website

Adam has a great website and blog, not only is his blog informative, but his website tells so much about the history of the Roadsigns and where they are located. His website is here; http://www.gribblenation.com/papics/ .

He has written several nice articles about Fred Yenerall, as well as showcasing his photos on his site. His site is one that I check out frequently so that I can get facts straight on the photos that I have restored and uploaded. Its very informative. I was wondering when I inherited the slides what I could do with all these roadsigns photos, thinking that no one would ever be interested in them, and came across his site, and learned that allot of people are interested in these historical road signs. Seems that my grandfather had insight to what would be wonderful photos not only when he took them, but also for many years to come.

I have a link on the FMYphotos.com website to his website, today I will be adding the link to the blog http://surewhynotnow.blogspot.com/


Here is the article that he wrote today about the Fred Yenerall Collection;
Sure, Why Not?: Blog and Website to check out

Check out his website if you get a chance.

Indiana County Pennsylvania - Christmas Tree Capital

The Fred Yenerall Collection has several photos of road Signs- and signs he saw along side of the road. I found this one in his collection that shows Indiana the Christmas Tree Capital of the world. below is the photo of that sign taken in 1976.



On another one of his road trips he also spotted this perfect shot of white Christmas trees being grown in the batch of green trees. This photo was taken in Cambria County, PA in 1967

He had the amazing ability of seeing something along side of the road and know that it would be a good picture, and would snap it.

Almost every town that he went through he would take a photo of the sign that told what name of the town he was in. His road sign Collection can be found here. Usually he only took one photo of the road signs, so some of them aren't as good as we would like them to be, but we are displaying them basically for historical values.

Sometimes it just wasn't road signs he took, if something was along side of the road he would take that photo this photo was taken along Route 996 Lancaster County PA 1975. I guess it just caught his eye. It is pretty cute though.



Adam Prince has a great website about Keystone Town Markers that explains and showcases roadsigns. His pages gives the history of the signs and the time period that the signs were used. It is a very educational website, with a lot of great photos. You can access it here. We have allowed him to use many of the road sign photos on his page.
