The Lincoln Log-- Lincoln Highway-- MORE SIGNS

Those Waymarkers are at it again. They posted another Lincoln Highway picture, this time of a Boy Scout marker at the Clinton County County Courthouse in Clinton, Iowa. Posted Oct. 29th by 8 Nuts Mother Goose.

It is located on the east side of the courthouse. The comment reads, "...good condition for its age. Originally, the Lincoln Highway crossed the Mississippi River about two miles north. It turned south for one mile and then west about one mile north of the courthouse. It was later changed to go past this location. Now, Lincoln Highway crosses a different Mississippi Bridge about a mile south."

After seeing the pictures from the last several days, I investigated further and found that the Waymarkers have 69 pictures on three pages on Lincoln Highway Markers. You can go to their website at http://www.waymarking.com/ to find them.

I looked at some of the other pictures and found an interesting picture of a new statue in Joliet, Illinois called Building the Lincoln Highway. It is a statue of a roadbuilder from 1915 and, according to the caption is a life-size cold cast bronze sculpture on a hand-cast ceramic mosaic column. There is also an Abraham Lincoln image in the mosaic.

There is an organization in Joliet dedicated to putting street art out for the masses. I was there last Veteran's Day when they dedicated a Route 66 statue in front of the welcome center. The people of Joliet are very proud of their transportation heritage including Lincoln Highway, Route 66, US-52, US-6, interstates, railroads, and water.

Keep up the Good Work You Waymarkers!!! --RoadDog
