Fresh look for an historic route🎨

Pavement tattoos were recently put down in Licking County to highlight the Historic National Road, an Ohio and national scenic byway. Drivers can find them in Gratiot, Hebron, Kirkersville, and Etna with more to come along U.S. 40 throughout the summer. These tattoos are the first scenic byway tattoos in Ohio and were made possible by our local partners at the Ohio National Road Association!

Travel the Historic National Road Scenic Byway this year and find all the pavement tattoos while experiencing one of America's most iconic roadways.

The Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway traces the path of the nation’s first transcontinental road—an idea sparked in 1913 that forever changed how Americans explore. Named in honor of Abraham Lincoln, this historic route opened the door to cross-country travel and helped create the very idea of the family vacation.

Today, Iowa’s stretch invites you to follow that legacy—where every mile tells a story of innovation, connection, and the open road. Prairie Rivers of Iowa
