Join us for the next meeting of the Reminisce Society, Tuesday, April 29th at 10 am! This month we will be enjoying a presentation by Darcy Maulsby with Humanities Iowa “Adventures Along the Historic Lincoln Highway in Iowa”.
Nothing says freedom like the great American road trip, especially when you cruise the historic Lincoln Highway in Iowa. Better known today as Highway 30, the Lincoln Highway revolutionized Iowa and America when the historic route was developed more than a century ago. If you’ve ever traveled on an interstate-or any paved road, for that matter-you owe a debt of gratitude to the visionaries who promoted the Lincoln Highway to connect the country. The incredible story of the development of the Lincoln Highway and its legacy today reflects a tremendous story of American innovation, community spirit, freedom and an amazing slice of Iowa history that will make you want to hit the road for your next Iowa adventure!
This program is free and open to the public. Presented in person at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Ottumwa and virtually via Zoom meeting. For any questions or to be added to the Zoom Meeting call us at 641-682-7563 or email Director Sonja Ferrell at sferrell@ottumwapubliclibrary.org
