Michigan M-76 state highway marker

Description

M-76 was a highway in the northern part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, running from Standish to Grayling, a distance of just over 61 miles (98 km). The earliest version of the route had its north end at Roscommon, and was much more indirect, hitting the towns of Sterling, Alger, and West Branch. Eventually, the road was extended to Grayling along a more direct route. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, M-76 was gradually upgraded to a full freeway. The last stretch of freeway was completed in 1973, at which time the M-76 designation was dropped from the state rolls, and the new freeway instead became part of Interstate 75.

Own a piece of American highway history with our Michigan M-76 state route sign. It’s recreated to the exacting state specifications in use from 1948–1961. This legendary M-76 design, using the custom fonts only used by the state of Michigan, once guided drivers along one of Michigan’s most storied routes. Original examples are virtually impossible to find today, having long since been replaced by the modern design. Invest in quality that lasts and attention to detail that commands attention, even from seasoned collectors. This is your opportunity to bring a little bit of M-76 into your collection, garage, office, or display space!

Our M-76 sign is flat printed on heavy steel with perfectly accurate fonts, layout, and proportions. Every sign is made in the United States with uncompromising quality. The craftsmanship is immediately obvious, even up close. This is not a lightweight, flimsy, tin imitation; it is a substantial, museum-quality steel sign made to look just like the originals. Mounting holes are included for easy installation. It’s available in the following sizes (measured from tip to tip across the diamond):

• 12 in. × 12 in.
• 16 in. × 16 in.
• 24 in. × 24 in.
• 36 in. × 36 in.
