Monument US 1 Brevard Volusia county line
A monument welcoming motorists to Brevard County, Florida on US 1 at the Volusia County line. The other side says COME/AGAIN. Monuments like this and even arches over the road were put up by counties in the early 1900s when roads were improved. This specific one probably used to be about a mile east along the old Dixie Highway (now Dixie Way), and would have been moved when the new road was built. Taken November 28, 2004 by User:SPUI.
