This marker is located at the
south end of Arma. It is one concrete pillar with a different
plaque on each side. These markers designate two highway
projects. The photo on the right isn't too easily read but it says Project No. 120 and is dated 1923. Project #40, 1922, was for paving a 16' wide concrete highway from the south end of Franklin to the south city limits of Arma. Project #120, 1923, was for paving a 16' wide concrete highway from the south send of Arma to the north end of Arma. An item mentioned in the plans was that the county must pay for the marker out of their own funds as it was not an eligible part of the project The photo on the right isn't too easily read but it says Project No. 120 and is dated 1923. "Longest Sidewalk" Does anyone have any information about the sidewalk that connects Arma and Franklin? It is supposedly listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest sidewalk connecting two towns. There was purportedly a huge amount of media coverage, newspaper, television, etc. If you have information please send an e-mail. |
