Landmark of Old Times.

The National road which is used
from the western line of Indiana to
Harrisburg was built by the United
States early in the last century.
1t was designed as military and
post road before railroads were
used, and was planned to connect
state capitals. 1t passes through
Harrisburg, Pa, Columbus, Ohio, In
dianapolis, Indiana, and got short
start into Illinois toward Springfield
when it was stopped on it's way to
Jefferson City, Missouri.
1t was marvel Of engineering.
Careful calculations and experiments
were made to ascertain the most
economical grade for team with
loaded wagon, and thus the maximum
grade was established. The wooden
bridges built then were never sur
passed in efficiency, and some of
them are still in use on the National
road although nearly a hundred
years old.
Parts of the road are still good as
first built of macadam, but of course
most of it has been repaired until no
vestige of the former surface remains
in sight. 1t has been modernized
lately and has no superior now In the
country.
