This marker is located on westbound route 50 within the clover leaf intersection of 50 and 28. There is no parking, sidewalk and of course no scenic view. There is however a lot of traffic at anypoint during daylight. Stop here at your own risk. If you drive by the sign that is good enough for me to log a visit as it refers to route 50 as the historic site.
