The highway signs are those white arrow signs with the name on them. I
contacted our local DOT office, got the forms, turned them in, they were
ok'd, had the signs painted [cheaply] by a local company, delivered the
signs to the County Highway dept. and they installed them, free, on US
Hyw. 8. We had 2 made, one for people coming from either direction.
I didn't have much luck getting those nice brown official signs so
settled for the white arrows.

Yes - the Wisconsin Historical Society does administer the official
state markers program, but the highway signs indicating the location of
a museum or marker are not part of the marker program. As Kelly
indicated, you should contact the highway department for the appropriate
contact information.

I would talk first with your county highway department. They usually
have all of the required forms or would have the contact for the state
office where you would have to apply for such a sign. If I remember
correctly, the historical marker and historical museum programs are a
special program through the state, but they may let the county
administer it.

Can anyone tell me how it is possible to obtain the brown state highway
signs that carry messages such as "historical marker 1/2 miles ahead" or
"historical museum "?
Our museum is located on a state highway and a sign like this would be
excellent, as it might keep folks from speeding past our location.
Thanks!
