The journey is just as important as the destination-where road warriors can experience nostalgic America at its best. It’s the Lincoln Highway–U.S. Route 30–the nation’s first coast-to-coast highway stretching from New York City to San Francisco! Just as the Lincoln Highway sparked the public’s imagination and fostered the rapid growth of automobile tourism in the early 20th century, the 200-mile Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor beckons you to ride the same ribbon of asphalt and concrete as your grandparents.
A trip on the Lincoln becomes a passage in time and place as you discover the many historic, cultural and recreational attractions that await you along its path. Visit the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor Office and Gift Shop in Ligonier, and learn more about the three 18th century forts; five state parks; mountainous topography of breathtaking beauty and scenery; the bigger-than-life Coffee Pot and mom and pop gas stations and diners. Your countryside travels will take you through a variety of quaint Pennsylvania towns–Ligonier, Schellsburg, Bedford, McConnellsburg, Chambersburg, Gettysburg and New Oxford to name a few–where antiquing and unique shopping experiences take on an added dimension.
Getting there is half the fun when you enjoy the many things you would never see if you traveled on the interstate highways. That’s the beauty of a trip on the Lincoln Highway!
