A concrete post topped with a bronze medallion of Abraham Lincoln's head marks the Lincoln Highway, the first road to cross the United States from coast to coast. The Lincoln Highway Association, formed in 1913, promoted the route and set markers like this one along it so travelers could follow the way west. The bronze medallions became a familiar sight on roadsides across the country. Look closely at the relief and you can see the care that went into a roadside guide meant to honor the sixteenth president.
