[Download PDF for Printing]THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY
The Lincoln Highway gave people the ability to travel across
the United States in their vehicles. It
was as important to our nation as the Transcontinental Railroad in transporting
people to the West. It was routed
through Wyoming from our eastern border with Nebraska to our western border of
Utah.

The trials that greeted the original emigrants crossing
Wyoming were in some incidents very similar to those encountered by the
Highway.
