Just north of Maquoketa IA lies the remains of the Hurstville Lime Kilns, which was in operation from the 1870s to 1930. It's not exactly a must-see attraction...unless you're really into kilns. But, it's worth a stop if you're on Highway 61, just to marvel at the ingenuity of man.
I'm not sure how long this sign has welcomed visitors to the site, which has been open to the public since 1985. But I do wonder how many people have caught the misspelling (click image to enlarge).
I'm guessing not enough to cause the County to fix it.
Does anyone really pay any attention to the signs? Unless you're the Pizza Delivery, Police or Fire Department, or FedEX, or UPS?
