Welcome to California! The Lincoln Highway in the Golden State follows a variety of paths. While exploring the highway, you may
find yourself on the 1913-27 route through the San Joaquin Valley and the Altamont Pass, or on the 1927-28 route across the
Carquinez Strait. The Lincoln Highway guided travelers through both the Donner Pass and Echo Summit in the Sierras. We're confident
you'll never run out of adventures or surprises on these routes. The California Chapter offers several tools to help you on your
journey. For more information, follow the links listed at the left. Feel free to contact us if you
have any questions.

Chapter Meetings
The California Chapter meets four times a year to conduct Chapter business, visit historic sites, cruise
sections of the old road, share lunch at an historic eatery, or listen to speakers on highway-related subjects. Our meetings are never
boring, and visitors are always welcome.
Tours
Each year, the California Chapter of the Lincoln Highway Association hosts four guided tours, each traveling
a different leg of the Lincoln Highway in California. Tour vehicles are provided by the California Chapter, with a driver and knowledgeable
tour guide. All tours begin boarding at 8:45 AM and the estimated return time is 6:00 PM. Tour costs are $45 per person.
Driving Maps
Feel like heading out on your own? Bring plenty of water, pack a few extra tires for the Packard, and don't forget your official
California Lincoln Highway driving maps! Our set of maps provides enough detail to drive all known routes of the highway,
and includes many city-level maps.
The Traveler Newsletter
The California chapter publishes The Traveler newsletter each quarter. Each issue include local and
national Association news and updates on ongoing interpretation and preservation efforts, as well as in-depth looks at current and
historical events along the highway.
