The US Transportation Department has named five All-American Roads:
Florida Overseas Highway
Historical Route 66 in Arizona
Maine's Acadia All-American Road Trenton Extension
Harriet Tubman Underground Rail Road Byway in Maryland
Michigan Woodward Avenue (M-1) Automotive Heritage
The All-American Road designation possible under the National Scenic Trail Byways Program established by US Congress in 1991. There are only 31 roads at thiis level.
To become one, an extensive research is done on the road's archaeological, cultural, historical, natural, recreational and scenic qualities. It must also exhibit characteristics of national significance and features that don't exist elsewhere.

Congratulations to These Five Roads. --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.
