"On the Lincoln Highway Crossing Missouri River at Blair, Nebraska Saves 31 Miles on U.S. Highway No. 30 Between Missouri Valley, Iowa and Fremont, Nebraska."
The Lincoln Highway Association owes a debt of gratitude to Professor Lyell Henry for his long-term devotion to the history and culture of the Lincoln Highway. A former professor at Mount Mercy College in Cedar Rapids, Lyell lives in Iowa City and serves on the Iowa Board of Directors of State Consuls.
Lyell's lectures and articles about roadside artifacts - restaurants, motels, and complete "one-stops" - are interesting as well as scholarly. Certainly one of Lyell's most important contributions is his postcard collection of roadside commercial attractions and scenery. Lyell was gracious in granting access to his collection of Lincoln Highway postcards in the development of this website.
In addition to the Lyell Henry collection, Illinois resident and long-time Lincoln Highway enthusiast Marvin Wolfe, and Ames resident and former ILHA Co-President Margaret Elbert contributed to the Clinton and Linn county pages. The postcard images on this site are not in the public domain. You must obtain permission to reproduce them.
Due to the size of the postcards in this electronic gallery, they have been thumbnailed for easier selection. Choose a county to start your journey.
