Chad Roberts of Dakota County Historical Society passed out pictures for ideas for new signage at the LeDuc Mansion. The two sign types that were discussed were a 7 foot horizontal sign and a short vertical sign. The purpose of the sign would be to show where parking is and to show if the LeDuc Mansion is open. Different options to place the sign include placement along the fence on 1 yth Street gate, across Vermillion Street, and historic government signs north and south along Vermillion Street.
