News about the Lincoln Highway.
Longtime Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor executive Olga Herbert, who is retiring in November, says she probably most enjoyed the Roadside Giants of the Lincoln Highway, which involved the creation of five rusted metal sculptures fabricated by students at vocational centers along the highway. Two of those sculptures are in Westmoreland County.
A 25-foot gas pump on the museum grounds was created by students at the Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center. A Packard automobile fabricated at the Central Westmorelaqnd Center usually is parked outside the Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce office in Hempfield. Ironically it is currently in the shop for repairs after being hit by a car.
"I loved working with the kids," Herbert said. "One of them told me, 'Miss Olga, if we weren't doing this, our senior project would be a stool. Someday I'm going to drive by and tell my kids I helped make that.' "
