Lincoln Highway Watering Hole and GAR Road

On the Feb. 7 Hoosier Happenings Blog, the Mayflower Restaurant in Plymouth, Indiana was featured with a photo as well.

It was built around 1929-1932 and has always been called the Mayflower. The original siding was covered about 40 years ago, but it still retains its Spanish revival style and does a great business.

On February 8th, the blog featured Route 6, the Grand Army of the Republic Highway which goes through Indiana. Before 1926, it was called the Midland Trail roadway. In the late 20s and 30s it was also called the Roosevelt Highway after Teddy Roosevelt.

Where US-6 and the Dixie Highway, US-31 intersect in Biemer, there is a coffee pot-shaped restaurant and three others: Alibi Restaurant, Dixiana, and Garner's.

A photo of Garner's was featured. From 1925-1949 it was the Maddox Inn. The Garner family operated it until 1996. Unfortunately, it recently burned down.

The Grand Army of the Republic was named for the Union Civil War veterans association.
