Highway to History: A Midland Trail Scrapbook

The Midland Trail is a highway to history. In the country's earliest years, it carried the tide of settlement westward. During the Civil War, both Union and Confederate troops marched along it. In the years before World War I, it became a link in a great transcontinental roadway. When numbered highways were introduced, it was designated U.S. 60. Today, there's history waiting around every bend of its 180 miles.
