Throwback Thursday: 1953 Kansas State Fair display


It's time for a Throwback Thursday! The Kansas State Fair returns next week. To celebrate, here is a photo from the 1953 Kansas State Fair. At the time of this photo, the Kansas Department of Transportation was known as the Kansas Highway Commission it would be nearly 20 years before KDOT would be renamed in August 1975.

As you can see in this photo many of the signs we use today look very similar to how they looked 65 years ago and this was before the interstate system existed.

KDOT will be returning to the state fair this year. Check our blog next week for a preview!
