Step 1
Find the place

Step 2
Read the story
The record behind each marker is kept whole: what happened there, when, who was involved, and why it was worth a sign. You read it standing where it happened, which is the part a textbook cannot give you.
Step 3
Get there under your own power
Walk it, run it, hike it, ride it or drive it. Stops in Deaf Smith County, TX are chained into routes that fit the way you move, so a lunch break, a long run or a Saturday drive can all pass through history.
