Forest of Signs

　　Forest of Signs is located in Watson Lake, Yukon, Canada, and is the most renowned tourist destination in the town. Many visitors come here specifically to see the over 100,000 unique signs scattered across this magical land.

　　The history of the Forest of Signs dates back to 1942 when a bulldozer damaged some road signs. U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindley was tasked with repairing them. While fixing the signs, he also put up one pointing toward his hometown of Danville, Illinois. He wrote his hometown’s name and the distance on a wooden board, nailed the homemade sign to a post facing Danville, and soon others followed suit by adding signs for their own hometowns. Over time, many passing travelers also contributed signs displaying their hometowns. Through the years, more and more posts were added, and the collection of signs grew, eventually forming the impressive Forest of Signs seen today.

　　In addition to directional signs, the Forest of Signs also features a variety of “unusual signs” from around the world, including autographed dinner plates, vehicle license plates, tire covers, frying pans, business cards, and more. These signs feature different languages and scripts, and you can even find signs in Chinese put up by Taiwanese visitors.
