Traveling the Lincoln Highway - Day 6 Marshalltown, IA to Nebraska

Traveling the Lincoln Highway - Day 4 Merrillville, IN to DeKalb, IL
Our first destination for our fourth day on the Lincoln Highway had us visiting the sweetest stop on the whole trip. The Albanese Candy Factory makes the best gummy candy in the world! Peg loaded up with enough sugar to carry us for the rest of the trip. Always look for the "A" on your gummy bear to know you are getting the best.
Inside the National Auto and Truck Museum - Auburn, IN
The National Auto and Truck Museum, or NATMUS, is located in the former factory buildings of the Auburn Automobile Company.

Touring the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana
Every so often you come across a museum that really gets your emotions flowing; a car guy's paradise. This was how I felt after visiting the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana. The word "wow" was about all I could say when I stepped into the Art Deco Original Company Showroom on the first floor of the administration building.
Traveling the Lincoln Highway - Day 3 Crestline, OH to Schererville, IN
Sunday (Easter Sunday) finds us traveling through the rest of Ohio and Indiana on the Lincoln Highway. Since most places are closed on Sunday we figure we would just take in the scenery for the day. We don't have to drive very long before finding Lincoln Highway history in the form of a pair of brick monuments honoring LHA Vice President Austin Bement and LHA Local Consul J. F. McMahon in Crestline, Ohio.
A Tour of Mansfield Reformatory
We took a little detour during our Lincoln Highway road trip to visit The Ohio State Reformatory, better known as the Mansfield Reformatory, in Mansfield, Ohio. Over 155,000 inmates called this place home between 1896 and 1990. Now it is being restored and you can tour the grounds in season.
A Visit to the Canton Classic Car Museum
What would a road trip on the Lincoln Highway be without visiting a car museum? Just a few minutes off of the Lincoln is the Canton Classic Car Museum in Canton, Ohio. The museum is housed in a former 1914 Ford car dealership and displays car memorabilia, vintage cars, and a good dose of cheese.
Traveling the Lincoln Highway - Day 2 Greensburg, PA to Mansfield, OH

Traveling the Lincoln Highway - Day 1 Chambersburg, PA to Latrobe, PA
We started our Lincoln Highway vacation just outside Chambersburg, PA following Route 30 at Shatzer Fruit Market. Here we encountered our first "Roadside Giant" of the Lincoln Highway, first painted gas pump, and purchased some homemade applesauce. This was a great way to start our long journey.
Spring Cars and Coffee at Summit Point Motorsports Park
