but there were Trail of Tears signs along a certain road in my hometown, and the nearby Pea Ridge NMP also had a video program about the Trail of Tears. One section of the ToT followed most of what became US 62 in northern Arkansas. In Rogers or Garfield, it branched off to the Old Wire Road down to Fayetteville, where it joined up with US 62 again and continued into Oklahoma.
