Two roadside signs, one for the Walden Breezes Trailer Park and one for a pony ride, make up this picture, pairing a place to park a home with a treat for children. The name Walden echoes Henry David Thoreau's pond in Concord, Massachusetts, where he lived in a cabin in the 1840s and wrote *Walden* in the 1850s, though a trailer court would have been a far cry from his retreat. Signs like these were a familiar sight along American highways in the decades after World War II, when car travel and mobile homes grew popular. It is worth noticing how such signs advertised everyday pleasures to passing motorists.
