Some New News About an Old Road.
1. MURALS IN STERLING AND ROCK FALLS-- Sterling is set to get a new mural in addition to the 18 the town already has. This time it is compliments of the Illinois Lincoln Highway Coalition which has been very busy placing interpretive gazebos and murals throughout the length of the road in Illinois. This one is 200 square feet and will show the Lincoln Tavern which was built in the late 1920s or early 1930s. The Taco Bell stands at its former site.
Nearby Rock Falls has already gotten their mural at 1412 W. State Route 30 and shows the now defunct Corn Carnival.
Great job ILHC.
2. LINCOLN HIGHWAY DAYS-- The 27th annual Lincoln Highway Days festival starts in Nevada, Iowa, this weekend.

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.
