On many of Ridgeway’s street corners you may find a square concrete post which served as a street signpost. Sixty of these neat little posts were created by members of Ridgeway’s FFA chapter in 1967. The FFA and 4H members then set most of them into place. They were painted and stenciled by members of the Future Homemakers of America and Community Betterment members.
“Many residents are finding out for the first time which street they have lived on during the years. They show pride in the neat, new markers.” (Bethany Republican-Clipper, Sept 9, 1967).
The current Ridgeway Community Betterment members have an on-going project to clean, repaint and re-stencil the signposts. If you would like to help restore this bit of history back into usefulness, please contact Shelly Lovitt or watch the RCBA Facebook page @RidgewayCBA for announcements about times they will be painting.
