Pioneer VIllage in Mendon NE is an eclectic collection of what many people would call junk, but old Harold thought it was cool stuff. Among the cars, boats, and the largest living collection of outboard motors, is but a single route marker, from the nearby NE-10. This marker is from the 1930's or 40's, and is about a complete oppisite of the current marker. |

Thru Scottsbluff NE had a "City US-26" on it. It has since been renumbered back to the old NE-71, but there are still a couple old "City Route" markers. |
