Brooksville in Hernando County, Florida — The American South (South Atlantic)
Historic Sidewalk
The sidewalk was installed close to the development of the assembly line by Henry Ford. The conveyor driven assembly line allowed for the production of a Model T Ford in ninety three minutes. The operation of the first assembly line was December 1, 1913, thus allowing average citizens the availability of automobiles.
This historic sidewalk was installed and outdated in nearly the same calendar year.
