National Road Mile Post Near Columbus, OH - U.S. Historic Survey Stones and Monuments on Waymarking.com

I stopped to read the historic sign nearby and then saw this here, too. I love when I stumble into waymark targets. Right next to an old firestation, if you are looking for a landmark.

Go west on W. Broad Street from Columbus. It is on the north side of the road, right next to the old fire station. Cross Street is N. Wheatland. The marker is less than 20 feet from the street.
