When traveling south on TN-238 from Port Royal State Historical Park as if driving to Adams, TN, the highway will eventually "T" into an intersection with TN-76. At this juncture of the two highways, there are several informational signs. One is a green directional sign telling it is 7 miles to Adams if you turn East or 6 miles to Clarksville if you turn West. There is also a Hwy 238 North sign and, finally, there is this Port Royal Tennessee historical marker.
The historical marker's text reads as follows:
