The Nov. 28th Plymouth (In) Pilot News had a column by Mike Boys called "My View From the Pilot House," in which he talked about the number of major US highways that go through or near Plymouth. And, there are definitely some major ones.
They are featured at the new Crossroads Center at the Marshall County Museum. Here is the list: Michigan Road (US-31), Lincoln Highway (US-31), Yellowstone Trail, Dixie Highway, and the Grand Army of the Republic (US-6).
He gave these roads' alignments through Marshall County as well as a short history of each. The Yellowstone Trail entered Marshall County at the Kosciusko County line at 12B Road and went west to Michigan Road (US-31) to Plymouth, then west on then US-30 to the county line.
The routing of US-6 has remained essentially the same. The Lincoln Highway underwent frequent rerouting and most of the old Michigan Road still exists.
Well Worth a Trip Just to See All Those Old Roads. Now, If They Just Had 66 and the National Road. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
