The Lincoln Highway in
Indiana

Between Fort Wayne and Valparaiso, the Lincoln Highway followed two main corridors in Indiana during its existence. Originally, it had a more northern route through Elkhart, South Bend, and La Porte. It was later moved to a more direct route through Plymouth; US 30 follows a similar route today.
