GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Lincoln Highway tourist crossing the State of Iowa will travel through one of the richest rural communities in the world. The press of the State, the Lincoln Highway Consuls and various civic and Grange organizations are united in demanding the construction of hard-surfaced roads. The people of the State of Iowa have done everything in their power to bring the Lincoln Highway up to the highest standard of improved road. In the past two years, $247,000 have been spent for grading and bridge building along the route. $150,000 more have been spent in graveling the road. The Lincoln Highway ... now almost equals a railroad grade clear across the State and is ready for hard-surfacing as soon as legislative enactment will permit.
The laws of Iowa hold that a motor vehicle must be so driven in a careful and prudent manner as not to endanger the property of another of the life and limb of any person. A speed in excess of 25 miles an hour is presumptive evidence that an automobile in not being so driven.
Take a stroll along Iowa's Lincoln Highway. Each site includes a county map and small photo gallery.
