Old Lincoln Highway marker
San Francisco, California (CA), US
The Lincoln Highway was the first road across the United States of America.

The last major promotional activity of the Lincoln Highway Association took place on September 1, 1928, when at 1:00 p.m. groups of Boy Scouts placed approximately 2,400 concrete markers at sites along the route to officially mark and dedicate it to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. Each concrete post carried the Lincoln Highway insignia and directional arrow, and a bronze medallion with Lincoln's bust and stating "This Highway Dedicated to Abraham Lincoln".
