From the September 30, 2020, Altoona (Pa.) Mirror "Motor court vies for honor" by Patt Keith.
I've already written about this, but the article has some extra information and since I am so far behind in Lincoln Highway coverage.
Said co-owner Debbie Altizer, "It's like taking a trip back in time." Debbie and her husband Bob bought the place back in 1983 after a two-year search. She said the early years were rough, but word got around and its reputation grew about taking a trip back to the 1940s.
The Altizers spent much time traveling to yard and estate sales looking for vintage articles and each cabin is stocked with them. Some of those items are doilies, radios, typewriters, cameras and the metal chairs that sit in front of each cottage (they are those neat ones like those at the Boots Court in Carthage, Missouri).
Each 11 by 16-foot cottage, however, comes with a modern refrigerator and a microwave. To keep with those bygone days, sorry folks, no air conditioning, just fans.
Rates for the trip back are $85 for two people.
