The Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) will travel the Lincoln Highway between the Iowa towns of Lisbon and Mount Vernon on Friday, July 25.
I traveled the portions of the Lincoln highway on Ragbrai thinking about all the years I have spent living next to the road in and near State Center, Iowa. My parents owned and operated the motel in State Center from 1954 to 1959. Upon moving to the acerage east of town, my brother and Dad found an old sign for Green Gable Cabins, State Center. They took it down and stored it in the barn until my folks moved away. I now have it and would like to have it displayed somewhere. I would like to know if there is a history on Green Gables Cabins.
