Following World War II, the National Council of State Garden Clubs designated certain national roads as Blue Star Memorial Highway, a living memorial to all who have served or will serve in the armed forces of the United States of America, expressed through aisles of flowering trees and shrubs. The Pennsylvania Turnpike from Carlisle to Irwin was designated as part of the first transcontinental Blue Star Highway, and flowering Dogwood trees were planted along this segment of the Turnpike.
