In the spirit of the original Lincoln Highway Association’s 1913 announcement of the selected Lincoln Highway route across the nation, Indiana farmers placed jack-o-lanterns on fence posts to celebrate the road and greet travelers. To add to your Halloween fun this October, we suggest visiting the following sites along the Lincoln Highway:
Merriam Cemetery, gravesite of the first Uncle Sam – Noble County
St. Louis Besancon Cemetery, a French settlement cemetery east of New Haven – Allen County
The Haunted Jail in Columbia City – Whitley County
Railroad Death Crossing Site at New Carlisle, near the Old Republic on the hill overlooking New Carlisle – St. Joseph County
The Old Bag Factory in Goshen, a haunted factory site – Elkhart County
Participate Fright Night Activities & Zombie Walk in downtown Fort Wayne – Oct. 23
