Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that the monument had not yet been repaired when the snapshot for the last newsletter was taken. The enthusiasm the last newsletter was met with was gratifying. The Indiana LHA Chapter can become an active group, enjoying ourselves while accomplishing goals. That is the case in other states along the highway. One guy likes to use aerial photography to help determine where ancient trails, which preceded our current roads, ran.
Archeological digs can then turn up artifacts of early day travelers.
Others enjoy researching old papers or making sense out of old maps. Still others wish to learn just enough to be able to follow today's road. Our interests overlap concerning the Lincoln Highway. The neighboring Illinois state chapter held a meeting over in Matteson a month ago featuring the history of that town and Park Forest. The Lincoln Highway still runs through those burgs and has been an important part of their histories for over three quarters of a century.
