In the 140 some odd years since the first car hit the roads in the Forest City, concrete hitching posts for horses and carriages were deemed no longer useful.
I m certainly not saying we need to dig them up but, but a piece of Rockford history is right in front of our face and we cruise by it daily and don t think much about it.
I have seen these concrete posts before in Rockford and couldn t quite figure out what they are.
Thankfully, a co-worker explained that coachmen would hook up to these poles to keep their horse (and carriage) in place.
