Switzerland County Sign - Florence, Indiana

A prominent welcome sign that visitors see entering Switzerland, County, after crossing the Ohio River from Kentucky via the bridge that spans the Markland Locks and Dam. This part of Indiana is known for its wine-making, several casinos, and as a historic route along the Ohio River, where pioneers entered Indiana, in particular the city of Madison, down stream.
