Sign of the old Board Church road marks pioneer's era
The Board Church area preserves a weathered rock inscribed Com. 8 Mi as a historic road sign from 75 years ago. The piece hints at pioneer ingenuity and the village’s early growth with stores, a post office, a gin, a barbershop, and a cemetery plot, while detailing settlers, land grants, and local families.
