Hey Folks,
Always late but worth waiting for - here's your Lincoln Highway E-newsletter.
LHA’s National Headquarters Opens
This year's Lincoln Highway Association National (LHA)
Conference in Fort Morgan, CO is a unique opportunity
to explore the little known routing of the LH Colorado
loop. The conference takes place from Monday, June 18
through Friday, June 22. There is a special pre-conference
tour on Sunday June 17th, and a special post-conference
tour on Friday afternoon on the 22nd. Read more about it,
get your registration material, and download the
conference brochure at the LHA home page:

Paul Gilger, Chairman of the Lincoln Highway Association Mapping Committee reports new mileage totals based on all alignments of the Lincoln Highway:
Total original 1914-1915 Lincoln Highway alignments: 3934.49
Total additional 1928-1930 realignments: 1371.15
Total additional intermediate realignments that were subsequently bypassed: 395.25
Total additional 1923 Proclamation Route alignments that were subsequently bypassed: 167.81
Grand Total For All Alignments: 5868.70Obviously, the totals for each state may vary a couple of miles depending on the accuracy of the DeLorme program. Note that Utah and Ohio are only separated by a difference of 3.33 miles, and Pennsylvania and Iowa are only separated by a difference of 4.44 miles. But given today’s technology, this is as accurate as we can get. As you can see, there is a LOT more Lincoln Highway than the original 3389 miles. For what it’s worth, our grand total of 5868 miles minus our original route of 3389 miles equals a difference of 2479 miles. According to the website Wikipedia, Route 66 is 2448 miles long. Of course, Route 66 has its realignments too, but it’s interesting to note that our extra mileage is 31 miles longer than Route 66’s original road.
Now that’s something we can ALL brag about. Go Lincoln!
Best regards, Paul.
Here's a great historic photography archive that I found - PhillyHistory, at http://www.phillyhistory.org. It currently features 25,000 on-line images of Philadelphia dating back to the 19th century, with 2,000 more being added every month. The total archive includes 2 million. You can search by date, keyword, address or neighborhood. The results include a thumbnail and a brief caption. Click on the thumbnail for a details page which includes a larger picture, a map of the neighborhood, and the location of the photograph. You can also purchase copies. I did a search on keyword "Broad" and limited it between 1915 and 1930 and it came up with 212 photos including a bunch at the intersection of North Broad and Olney Sts. This site needs a lot more research - very impressive!
Playwright Laura Conrad, Duncansville, PA has

Valparaiso, IN does it up right. Their streetscape
improvement project included marking the Lincoln Highway
with vinyl Lincoln Highway sign stickers on all street signs
within the city route, Lincoln Highway banners downtown,
and the placement of a Lincoln Highway marker with a new
marble interpretative monument. The marker and monument
were unveiled at a special ceremony on Lincoln's birthday,
Monday, February 12th. I was on hand for the festivities
with Lincoln Highway Association Vice-President Jan
Shupert-Arick, and new Executive Director David Hay.
I will be posting some pictures in a week or so on the

Time Magazine archives are now on line at Time.com. A search for "Lincoln Highway" revealed:
Lincoln Highway Eats - OHIO:
ypsi-slim's rules of the road - food
I'm pretty weak on stuff east of Ohio. When we had our Lincoln Highway Association (LHA) National Conference in Edison, New Jersey, we had lunch at an excellent brew pub in Times Square with good sausage sandwiches, which I believe was the Times Square Brewery, and now out of business. There was the Empire Diner in Edison, but I never had the chance to try it.
Hopefully Brian Butko will come up with more ideas in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. What was the Pittsburgh brew pub where we had lunch at the LHA National Conference in Chester, WV? They had some of the best beer I have ever had, and very good German food. Regional Pennsylvania food includes the famous - Chicken and Waffles entree.
I have an old real photo postcard of Hoge's Drive In at the intersection of old US 30 and SR 7 in East Liverpool, OH. I surprised to find this restaurant still open, but no longer a drive-in, a few years back. It features excellent home style food at very reasonable prices, and is worth seeking out. I believe Hoge's first opened in 1947 - so it must be pleasing the locals. It's a smoke-free family style restaurant. (Address, phone & map - http://xrl.us/u6v2 )
Lisbon, OH is a two diner town, but alas Crosser's diner
has been closed for some time. I always, though, try to
stop at the other Steel Trolley Diner. Standard diner fare
- good burgers and fries. There's a picture of this 1956
O'Mahoney Diner at:
http://www.oh-diners.com/OH-D/steel_trolley.htm
Ohio Magazine has honored them for making some of the
best burgers in the state.
(Address, phone & map - http://xrl.us/u6v4 )
Hanoverton, OH features the wonderful Spread Eagle
Tavern. I have had both lunch and dinner here and both
meals were excellent. They also offer lodging. Read more
about this 19th century Inn at their website:
http://www.spreadeagletavern.com/history.shtml
They are open daily for lunch, and Thursday through
Saturday for dinner.
Hanoverton also has the Rt. 30 Cafe on 29957 Canal St.,
but I haven't had the chance to try it.
Minerva, OH - I've driven by the Southern Inn many times but never had the occasion to stop there. It looks like it has been there for 50+ years.
On the west side of Canton, OH, about 1/2 mile north of
W. Tuscawaras on Whipple St. is Fano's Candies Nuts
Ice Cream. Not just a candie and ice cream shop, Fano's
offers breakfast's and lunch. Checkout their website for
more info and menu:
http://www.fanoscandynuts.com/
There is also a drive-in on Whipple that I haven't checked
out yet, a couple of blocks further north of Fano's -
Whipple Dari Drive-In.
Esther Queneau writes, "Canton, OH - Heggy's Nut & Candy Shop is on the LH at 3200 Tuscarawas St. It serves some foods, too, and it's been a long-time business there."
Massilon, OH has an outlet for Handel's Homeade Ice
Cream at 3107 Lincoln Way E. For some reason this
location is not listed at the company's website:
http://www.handelsicecream.com/
I can confirm that the Massillon location is open.
Massilon also has the Lincoln Highway Cafe at 121
Lincoln Way E. I hope to check it out next time I am
in the area.
Just south of the Lincoln Highway in Dalton, OH on SR 94 - Mill St is the Dalton Dariette. The Amish Heartland website, Here's the Scoop page, from Wooster, OH says, " The Dalton Dariette is pretty much an institution in eastern Wayne County. Since 1958, people have been driving to this nostalgic drive-in for ice cream, enjoying cones, sundaes, swirls and banana splits. Soft serve comes in chocolate, vanilla and a flavor-of-the-week, and hand- dipped hard ice cream comes in eight delicious flavors. The Dariette is also well-known for their made-to-order sandwiches, chicken, fish and homemade curly fries."
West of Dalton, at the corner of US 30 and Kidron Rd., many local cheeses and the famous area Trail Bologna can be had at Shisler's Cheese House. Read more about it at: http://xrl.us/u6wu
Just past Kidron Rd. and north on SR 57 - Wadsworth Rd
is the town of Orville, OH, home of Smucker's. They have
a retail store with an in-house bakery - Simply Smucker's,
333 Wadsworth Rd.
http://www.jmsmucker.com/
Haven't made it yet to the Amish Door Restaurant in Wooster, OH but plan to check it out soon. Everything there is homemade. Read a review at: http://xrl.us/u6wr and checkout that giant apple fritter! Another place I am curious about is the Tulipan Hungarian Pastry shop at 122 S. Market St.
Sherrick's Diner in Ashland, OH is no longer open as a restaurant but the building is still there and was open recently as a video rental, and as a Harley Davidson dealership. You can see an early matchbook and recent photo at the One Time Diners of Ohio website: http://www.geocities.com/cornwallace55/ohio.html (scroll down to Ashland County)
Esther Queneau writes, "Ashland, OH - Lyn-Way Restaurant at 1320 Cleveland Ave. has good food but they are known in particular for their wonderful pies. The last I knew, they were $1.55 for a 1/6th slice, and they have a number of standard ones all the times, plus several specials each day. My favorites are the Buckeye (chocolate and peanut butter cream pie) and the Dutch Cherry (crumb crust on top). I don't recall that they have ever had either rhubarb or marionberry (they do have ground cherry on Thursdays, I think it is). Note: They wanted to name it Lin-Way but that name was already taken. Directions: Coming into Ashland from the east, take the Rte. 42 by-pass to the right to first stoplight at Middle Rowsburg Rd, turn left. - take it to the stop sign at Cleveland Ave., turn right - restaurant comes up fast on the left."
Mansfield, OH features Porky's Drive-In since 1947,
here's their website:
http://porkysdrivein.com/
Mike Hocker reports, "Try Pop's Sweet Shoppe in Uptowne Galion, but call me to meet for lunch! They make a HUGE pork tenderloin sandwich, have other homestyle lunches and dinners, and the place is like walking back in time to 1952...replete with white marble bar and stainless stools and backbar. (But it's been installed all Old-new in 2003 or 04)."
Bucyrus, OH is known as the Bratwurst Capital of the
USA, and has their Bratwurst Festival mid-August each
year. Read more about it at Ohio Festivals and Events
Assoc: http://www.ofea.org/view.php?fest_id=29 and at:
http://xrl.us/u6xh
Carle's Bratwurst, since 1929, has a retail store at 1210
East Mansfield St.; visit their website at:
http://www.carlesbrats.com/
Another local manufacturer, Bratworks, offers a
Drive-Thru retail outlet 574 S. Sandusky Ave. Checkout
their website at:
http://www.thebratworks.com/
I don't know if any local restaurants feature local brats.
One of the OH US 30 landmarks is the Steer Barn in
Upper Sandusky, OH. The restaurant was fashioned from
an 1897 barn, that later featured a Mail Pouch sign, and was
renovated into a restaurant in 1965. Driven by it often, but
never ate there. I believe it is only open for dinner. You
can see some pictures at the Ohio Barn website:
http://xrl.us/vf6g
North of Upper Sandusky on SR 199 (Old US 23) and
south of Carey, OH is the remnant of an old dutch mill
shaped building. Anyone know what it is - gas station,
restaurant, one-stop?
Delphos, OH is the home of the now defunct Lincoln Highway Dairy. Collectors seek their various milk bottles and pogs. A photograph of one of their horse-drawn delivery wagons was made into a postcard a few years back.
Balyeat's Coffee Shop in Van Wert, OH, open since
1923, is an excellent local family style restaurant featuring a
great neon sign and fried chicken. They also cater events at
the Marsh Hotel across the street, which was the original
Lincoln Highway Control Station for Van Wert. You can
see a picture of their sign, which you can send as a postcard,
at the Ohio Lincoln Highway - National Scenic Byways
photo page website: (photo no. 1)

"Hamburg - pickle on top! Make your heart go flippity
flop!" (Kewpie slogan) An earlier routing of the Lincoln
Highway, and US 30 South, went through Lima, OH which
always means stopping at the Kewpie, my number one place
for burgers in the US. The Kewpie Hotel was an early
hamburger franchise that started in Flint, MI and was later
headquartered in Lima, OH, and at one point had 200
locations in the Midwest. The store in Lima, at 111 N
Elizabeth St., is still open, and is an art deco shrine -
you can see a picture of the outside here:
http://www.kewpee.com/otherkewpees.php
The inside is all black and white tile, and stainless steel.
Besides their truly excellent hamburgers, they always have
5 - 10 kinds of pie. You are always allowed to eat pie
when on a road trip. I recommend their rhubarb and
lemon crunch. There is another Kewpie in Lima just off
I-75 exit 125. The building is non-distinct but it still has the
same great food. The Kewpie in Racine, WI is still open
and has a great website at:
http://www.kewpee.com/
There are also two Kewpie related burger places in Lansing,
MI and the related Bill Thomas' Haloburger mini-chain in
Flint, MI. I am interested in any Kewpie related collectibles
anyone may have. There is also a great Mello-Creme Donut
sign in Lima at their store on 822 S Metcalf St (which is the
Dixie Highway).
That's it for Ohio. I would be interested in hearing about any local non-chain restaurants along or near the Lincoln Highway in Ohio that I may not know about. Also - I am curious if there any restaurants along the Lincoln Highway in Ohio that offer a pork tenderloin sandwich. Also - I am always interested to hear about any barbeque and Thai restaurants. Next newsletter: LH Eats - Indiana.
Dixie Highway news:
Why this suddenly popped up on Time.com is sort of a mystery but perhaps they just recently provided access to their archive:
Monday, Oct. 19, 1925
Celebrating the completion of the Dixie Highway from Sault Ste. Marie to Miami, after ten years of labor by the Dixie Highway Association, a "motorcade" traveled southward over the highway last week, waving flags and making speeches.
Well - I searched their archives and came up with this
article about Ocala:
http://xrl.us/vezc
and another about Vandalia, OH - the intersection of the Dixie and National Highways, and the Amateur National Trapshooting Assoc.: http://xrl.us/vezf
Anyone ever been to Coral Castle in Homestead, FL on
