"When Roz isn't writing, she's reading, or traipsing around the country on one adventure or another. No trip is too small, no tourist trap too cheesy, and no road unworthy of traveling."
I'm sure there are people who think that's an exaggeration, and this post is to prove them wrong.
On a recent trip to south central Pennsylvania, a tourist brochure introduced me to the Lincoln Highway Tour.
The Lincoln Highway (Rt.30 through most of PA) was the first coast-to-coast highway in the United States. It extends from New York City to San Francisco. To preserve the unique history of this thoroughfare, the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor has established a Roadside Museum in Bedford and Somerset Counties in Pennsylvania.
As with my tour of covered bridges, there was just too much to see, so I had to pick and choose which wonders to visit. Fasten your seat belts - we're on our way!
Our first stop is one of many murals along the roadway depicting the history of travel through the region. This one is in Somerset County. |
No, that's not a shady lady! That's me! |
Last, but by no means least on my mini Lincoln Highway tour is Dunkle's Gulf Station. This magnificent art-deco style station opened in 1933 and is still operating today. |
