Old Red Old Ten | History

March 30, 1916 - Mandan Republic Newspaper

T. Terry, a road builder of large experience, is in the city ready to go to work as soon as the weather premits on Morton county roads under the direction of the county commissioners.

The first work to be undertaken in Morton county will be the building of the Red Trail from Mandan through New Salem, Glen Ullin, Hebron and intervening points way to the western boundary of the county, about 70 miles where the work will be taken up by Stark county.

The beginning of the Old Red Trail, which later became Highway 10 connected people to not only other communities but also their products, which enhanced their economic status.

In May 2007, the ND DOT, along with Prairie Public Television, produced a video that tells the history of the transportation along the Old Red Trail, later known as Highway 10.
