Lincoln Highway

Lincoln Highway

Begun in 1913, the Lincoln Highway was the United States first transcontinental automobile highway. It ran from San Francisco, California in the west to New York City, New York in the east. When the numbered highway system replaced the old National Auto Trail system in the late 1920s, most of the old Lincoln Highway became U.S. Highway 30.

Long after most other named highways have vanished by the wayside, markers still exist that delineate the route of the Lincoln Highway.

A number of quaint "Official Road Guides" to the Lincoln Highway were published by the Lincoln Highway Association.
