Bill > HB510

This bill designates 29 specific trails in Missouri as "Historic Legacy Trails of Missouri," including well-known historical paths such as the Lewis and Clark Trail, Route 66, the Santa Fe Trail, the Trail of Tears, and the Pony Express Trail. The bill requires the Missouri Department of Economic Development to place at least two signs along each trail, with one sign located at the beginning of the trail, to denote its status as a historic legacy trail. For trails that extend beyond Missouri's borders, the department will have discretion in sign placement. The trails represent a diverse range of historical significance, including routes related to exploration, migration, civil rights, transportation, and cultural heritage. The implementation of these trail designations is subject to legislative appropriation, meaning actual signage will depend on available funding. This recognition aims to highlight and preserve Missouri's rich historical landscape by marking and drawing attention to these important trails that have played significant roles in the state's and the nation's history.
