Lincoln Highway
East Liverpool’s streets were part of a coast-to-coast travel story that changed as road routes and bridges evolved.
The city on a continental route
The Lincoln Highway Association organized the named coast-to-coast route in 1913. East Liverpool’s local marker recalls a June 1915 celebration and changing approaches through East End and the Chester Bridge. The national origins and the local commemoration are different parts of the same story: a new kind of travel connecting communities across the country.
Follow the idea, not an assumed modern route
Find the marker beside the Museum of Ceramics on Broadway. Think about the travelers, services and businesses that a long-distance road brought into the city, then continue to the hotel and riverfront stories. Historical alignments changed over time; the marker is a starting point for understanding the route rather than turn-by-turn instructions for driving the original highway.
Before you go
- The photograph records the marker at its capture date; confirm present access and condition before a special trip.
- Use public sidewalks or permitted park paths, and follow posted access rules.
