From the Somerset County (Pa) Daily American "Lincoln Highway helped to build America" by Daniel Draper.
The Lincoln Highway was dedicated Oct. 31, 1913. Not many original businesses are left.
In Somerset County there are motels like the Wishing Well Motel in Jennerstown and Camp Allegheny in Stowstown.
Duppstadt's Country Store opened in 1904 in Buckstown.
One of Somerset County's most famous places is gone and that would be the SS Grandview Ship Hotel destroyed by fire in 2001. It was built in the 1930s. Lincoln Highway author Brian Butko has written a book about it.

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.
