WHITESTOWN, Ind. -- Crews in Whitestown installed on Monday three trail identification signs and one trail map sign at points along the Big 4 Trail that will eventually connect all of Boone County. 

Whitestown’s stretch of the trail is a little over two miles long. 

The company ‘Signworks’ designed the signs, which mirror those already installed along portions of Lebanon’s Big 4 Trail. 

The plan is for each community’s signs to be different colors - so runners, walkers and bicyclists can easily differentiate which community they are passing through. 

Once completed, the Big 4 Trail will run for more than 50 miles along the route of an abandoned railroad line that went from Indianapolis to Lafayette in the 1850’s.

The trail will connect Zionsville, Whitestown, Lebanon, Thorntown and Lafayette.
