Discovering The Old Route 30

The New Holland Area Historical Society invites local residents to take a trip through Lancaster on the Old Lincoln Highway (Route 30) via a presentation by Benton Webber of Manheim Township, who has sleuthed out the original locations of 40 concrete marker posts placed along the Lincoln Highway where it traveled through Lancaster in 1928.

Webber will give his presentation in the chapel at Garden Spot Village (GSV), 433 S. Kinzer Ave., New Holland, on Thursday, March 17, at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, but attendees will be required to wear masks.

Webber embarked on a journey to find the presentday whereabouts of all 40 of the marker posts after obtaining a copy of the 1928 list describing the original location of each marker. He also found an updated list from 1960 that noted that 22 had remained in their original locations that time. “There is one today in its original position,” said Webber, who noted that the post is at Third and Chestnut streets in Columbia. Webber visited the post and took measurements, and he had a portable replica built. In September 2021, he began taking the replica to the original locations as he found them and posting photos from each excursion on Facebook. He plans to complete the project with a Facebook post on May 28.

The markers were put up on a single day in September 1928 by Lancaster Boy Scouts. A representative of the Lincoln Highway Association, an organization founded in 1915 that was dedicated to making public improvements, selected the locations for the posts. “They were trying to figure out how to connect different points,” noted Webber, who added that in Pennsylvania many roads were gravel, wellgraded, and traveled regularly. “The Lincoln Highway stretched from New York to San Francisco, and it was the nation’s first transcontinental highway,” he said.
