Gift of Thunder Road International Speedbowl / American Canadian Tour, 2020.10.1
Catamount Stadium stood in Milton from 1965 to 1987, and this large sign was used to direct travelers. Catamount was beloved by racers for its attention to detail and up-to-date facilities, and was nicknamed “home of the brave.” This sign is on view for the first time since the track’s closing in 1987.
