Guide
A large stone-and-brown entrance sign stands beside Liberty Road at milepost 0, marking the southern terminus of the 444-mile route. It sits at the historical beginning of the Old Trace, so the spot carries symbolic weight for travelers heading north and serves as the closing point for those arriving from the north.
This is a brief sign and photo stop. The National Park Service lists Scenic View/Photo Spot as the amenity for this exact location, and that matches the experience: read the marker, frame a photo with the sign and the road behind it, and get oriented before starting or finishing a northbound or southbound drive.
The stop is modest in scale. The marker is the attraction, and the broader scenery, overlooks, and historic sites lie farther along the route, so treat this as an orientation and photo stop rather than a destination in its own right.
