This Lincoln Highway marker and monument sit in front of the Valparaiso City Hall building in Valparaiso, IN along the original route of the Lincoln Highway.
The monument reads:
"The Lincoln Highway was the first "coast to coast" road covering 3,389 miles across the USA. It was the dream of Hoosier Carl G. Fisher in 1913. The Lincoln Highway Association (LHA) announced that Valparaiso would be part of that route. In 1928, Boy Scouts placed concrete markers from New York to San Francisco as the final project of the LHA. Few markers survive in 2006. This marker was gifted to the city and placed here on Lincolnway as a reminder that Valparaiso has long been connected to interstate transportation."
