September 10th- Lincoln Highway's Anniversary: 94 Years

I saw on a This Day in History site that this past Monday marked the anniversary of the opening of the Lincoln Highway, the nation's first transcontinental highway, back in 1913, that's 94 years ago.

If Route 66 is the "Mother Road", the Lincoln Highway is definitely the "Father Road."

I know the Lincoln Highway Association is planning all sorts of things to honor the 100th anniversary in six years.

Plus, the 200th anniversary of the road's namesake comes up in just two years. Well, for that matter, the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the war that namesake was involved in is just four years away. All sorts of important anniversaries coming up.

Happy Birthday to the Lincoln!!! --RoadDog
