Uncle Sam billboard, Political billboard near Napavine, United States
The Uncle Sam billboard stands alongside Interstate 5 in Washington state, displaying messages through movie marquee-style lettering on both sides of the structure.
Alfred Hamilton established the billboard in the 1960s after Interstate 5 construction crossed his turkey farm, initially using it to protest government welfare programs.
The billboard represents individual expression of political views, reflecting shifting social perspectives through messages that generate discussions among passing travelers.
Located at Exit 72 off Interstate 5, eight miles south of Chehalis, visitors can view the messages while driving north on the highway.
The billboard survived a 1977 state lawsuit for removal, continuing its tradition of displaying political commentary despite multiple attempts to halt its operation.
