Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway

Over one hundred years ago, the Lincoln Highway opened travel for all when the transcontinental road route was proposed in 1913.

The Lincoln Highway was the first transcontinental highway to span 14 states and today is a National Scenic Byway that takes travelers from Times Square, New York, to Lincoln Park, San Franciso. Because the Lincoln Highway is a collection of roads and not specially designed like the highways and interstates we know today, traveling it is an exciting and unique adventure full of historical sites. Those who travel the Lincoln Highway through Iowa can follow the original route closely and remember the days of the classic road trip.

Brochures and information can be obtained along the route at the Sawmill Museum (Clinton), Reed-Niland Corner (Colo), Ames Convention and Visitor Bureau (Ames), Greene County Lincoln Highway Museum (Grand Junction) and the Harrison County Historical Village and Welcome Center (Missouri Valley).
