The Lincoln Highway was the first "Coast to Coast" road, covering 3,389 miles across the U.S.A. It was the dream of Hoosier Carl G. Fisher, founder of the Indianapolis 500. The Lincoln Highway Association was established on June 1, 1913. The Boy Scouts of America placed markers from "New York to Golden State" on September 1, 1928 as the final project of the LHA to honor the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.
