I’ll let you in on a little secret: my love of the Lincoln Highway started because I wanted to avoid the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Years ago, while looking for a different way to travel east from the Pittsburgh area, I found myself following the old Lincoln Highway through small towns, over mountain ridges, and past places I never would have discovered from the interstate. What began as a detour quickly became a tradition.

That’s the thing about a Sunday drive. It’s not about getting there faster. It’s about finding something unexpected along the way.

So this Sunday, take the scenic route. Roll the windows down. Stop when something catches your eye. Grab lunch in a small town. Pull over for a photo. Make the journey part of the destination.

The Lincoln Highway has been inviting travelers to slow down and explore for more than a century. We think that's a tradition worth keeping alive.

Where would your Sunday drive take you?

What if the best part of the trip wasn’t the destination… but the road getting there? 🛣️

With travelers heading east across Pennsylvania this summer - including visitors making their way to Philadelphia for World Cup events - we’re making the case for skipping the Turnpike and rediscovering the Lincoln Highway instead.

In the latest edition of Lindsay’s Lincoln Log, Lindsay reflects on how avoiding the Turnpike led her to discover the small towns, roadside attractions, mountain scenery, diners, and unexpected moments that make US 30 such a memorable journey across Pennsylvania.

Sometimes the slower road really is the better one. ❤️

Before interstates, exit ramps, and GPS voices telling you where to turn, a road trip demanded a little more patience - and a lot more curiosity. Travelers pulled over for the view, followed winding roads into unfamiliar towns, and discovered places they never planned to find.

Photos like this remind us that the journey itself used to be the destination. In many ways, we think that’s still true. ❤️

Next month, we’ll be celebrating that timeless spirit of adventure during our Great American Road Trip Celebration here at the Lincoln Highway Experience Museum - a day inspired by the simple joy of hitting the open road, making memories along the way, and sharing the experience with others.

Because whether it’s 1936 or 2026, there’s still something magical about summer and a good road trip. 🛣️

Your summer road trip starts here. 🚗

Cruise into the Lincoln Highway Experience and explore the stories, roadside wonders, classic cars, vintage diners, postcards, and unforgettable moments that helped shape America’s first coast-to-coast highway.

And this is only the beginning.

Our new 2026 Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor Partner Map & Guide is currently being printed and will soon be available across the corridor to help travelers discover quirky attractions, hidden gems, scenic stops, local businesses, and small-town adventures all along Pennsylvania’s Lincoln Highway.

New history is taking shape along the Montour Trail! 🚧🇺🇸

The Montour Railroad Historical Society recently installed a new interpretive panel highlighting the history of the Lincoln Highway at the Montour / Route 30 bridge in Imperial, PA. The sign explores the Lincoln Highway’s 1926 realignment through Imperial, the relationship between the highway and the Montour Railroad, and the efforts in 1928 to eliminate dangerous grade crossings through town.

This installation also commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Highway being routed through Imperial in 1926 — a fascinating chapter in the story of America’s first coast-to-coast highway.

A huge thank you to the Montour Railroad Historical Society and Bryan Seip for helping preserve and share these stories along the corridor. Be sure to keep an eye out for more information in the upcoming May–June edition of the Montour Trail Newsletter!
