Gateway Sign

Ottawa County · on Main Street (Route 66) south of downtown Miami

A replica of a sign originally constructed in the 1900s that spanned Central and C Street adjacent to the railroad station. For many years this sign welcomed visitors to downtown Miami. The original sign was removed during the 1930's. Today's replica welcomes visitors to a revitalized downtown Miami.
