Crossing 12 states, from California to New Jersey, the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor (LHHC) is a nationally recognized historic highway. Each state has its own chapter that organizes events, promotes museums and features landmarks for travelers of all ages to see. Lincoln Highway was the brainchild of Carl Fisher, a resident of Florida who was instrumental in the creation of the Indianapolis and Miami Beach NASCAR speedways. Fisher and some of his friends came up with the idea of a hand-surfaced road that would stretch from coast to coast in the shortest route. The Lincoln Highway spans 3,400 mi (5,440 km) across the United States.

The National Road was authorized by US President Jefferson in 1806 as a way to connect the eastern and western states. Construction of the National Road began in 1811 in Cumberland, Maryland, and finished in Vandalia, Illinois, in the 1850s. After falling into disrepair in the late 1800s, the National Road was revamped and became the first interstate, known today as US Route 40. To date, it is the only completely federally funded road, running from New Jersey in the east to California in the west.
